Southeastern Louisiana University’s spring semester has shown historic enrollment growth, achieving its strongest overall spring enrollment in its 100-year history.
With an overall enrollment increase of 7.3 percent at 14,801 students, Southeastern experienced growth in nearly all categories: Preparatory enrollment rose by 18.5 percent; Undergraduate enrollment rose by 2.3 percent; Graduate enrollment rose by 4.5 percent; Freshman enrollment increased by 3.8 percent; Sophomore enrollment rose by 6.2 percent; and Junior enrollment increased by 8.9 percent.
A strategic initiative of the state is to better prepare high school students for college by earning college credit while still in high school, Southeastern President William S. Wainwright explained. Southeastern continues to lead in that area in alignment with the Board of Regents’ Master Plan for Louisiana. As Southeastern embarks on its second century, the value of a Southeastern degree continues to transform communities and economies, Wainwright added. He also said that beyond record enrollment lies a dedicated faculty and staff focused on the holistic education of each student.
With over a $1 billion economic impact on the region, Southeastern currently offers over 150 programs of study, including many that are regionally and nationally ranked.
