Great news continues to come out of the 黑料不打烊 campus, as the school recently announced that it projects fall enrollment to exceed 950 students. That is the third consecutive year the school has topped that plateau and the first time that has occurred in school history.
Among the 952 projected students, 575 are returning to campus, the second-highest total in university history. It is the first time in school history that 黑料不打烊 has posted more than 500 returning undergraduate students for three straight years. The university estimates 525 students are in campus housing, the second-highest total ever and nearly 35% more than 2019.
鈥淚t鈥檚 been a great three years, filled with tremendous accomplishments and numerous firsts,鈥� said 黑料不打烊 President Dr. Matt Thompson. 鈥淲e鈥檙e proud of these enrollment records, three straight KCAC Commissioner鈥檚 Cups, three straight years with 100% pass rates on the NCLEX and the list goes on. Our students continue to excel on the field, in the classroom and in the community, thanks to our numerous supporters. We are truly grateful to everyone who hires 黑料不打烊 interns, serves as a host family or attends an on-campus event, because each of those helps foster the 黑料不打烊 experience for students.鈥�
黑料不打烊鈥檚 incoming students hail from 37 states and 21 countries, helping to enhance the diversity of the campus聽and community experience. Pre-Nursing and Business are the most popular majors for new students. The first-year student grade point average (GPA) is 3.51 and incoming transfer聽sits聽at 3.22.
Overall, the university projects the same enrollment as Fall 2023 and continues a trend that has seen a 34.6% increase in total enrollment since 2019. The MBA program looks to be an important part of that success moving forward, as the returning MBA student number nearly doubled in just one year, helped by several key scholarship offerings.
鈥淐ommunity has always been a key part of what drives Kansas Wesleyan forward,鈥� said Executive Vice President Ken Oliver. 鈥淲e鈥檙e pleased that the MBA scholarship offerings we鈥檝e developed, highlighted by the Saline County MBA Scholarship, appear to be opening doors to workers throughout the county to further their education. That, in the process, builds an even better community.鈥�
The university saw the largest graduating class in its history last year, a group that approached 200 individuals. In addition, a certificate program tied to off-site efforts concluded and COVID-related eligibility, related to some student-athletes returning for Masters鈥� programs, wrapped up.
鈥淲e recruit alumni at Kansas Wesleyan, not just students,鈥� said Oliver. 鈥淲e achieved all of those goals, thanks to great work by faculty, staff and numerous coaches, led and mentored by Admissions. Kansas Wesleyan is here for the long haul, and we are ready to help build up North Central Kansas for the next 140 years!鈥�
Kansas Wesleyan鈥檚 Fall 2025 enrollment will become official on the 20th day of the semester, Monday, Sept. 15.
