Dickinson State University announced today record-breaking fall enrollment for the 14th consecutive year. There are 2,767 students currently enrolled for the fall semester -- up 37 students from last year despite a drop in international students, according to a press release.
DSU's Office of Extended Learning, which offers online distance learning and degree programs, has an enrollment of 406 this year compared to 323 last year and reports that their programs now include 35 percent of all DSU students.
"We are very pleased with our fall semester enrollment momentum," said Dr. Richard McCallum, DSU president, in the release. "We have a very dedicated team of individuals who are actively working to advance our comprehensive enrollment strategies. I want to credit this team for their dedication and unity of effort."
North Dakota State University's fall enrollment has set a record for the 10th straight year.
The university on Tuesday said its official enrollment is 14,189 undergraduate, graduate and professional students -- up 960 from last fall.
