MONROE, LA – ؛¬ذك²فتسئµ is currently on track to experience an increase
in enrollment in the Fall 2025 semester. Though it is still early, preliminary indicators
point toward increases in key areas of the student population, including full-time
students and first-time freshmen.جج
؛¬ذك²فتسئµ has completed two freshman orientation sessions, known as PREP sessions, in the
summer of 2025. The third PREP session is underway, with three more still to come,
including a global session for international students.جج
“As we have now begun our third PREP session of 2025, and I’ve completed my first
month as president of ؛¬ذك²فتسئµ, I can feel the energy and excitement from this incoming
freshman class. The momentum is building, and it is palpable on our campus,†said
؛¬ذك²فتسئµ President Dr. Carrie L. Castille. “Our faculty and staff have been preparing,
and we are thrilled to welcome these new students and our returning Warhawks. We are
optimistic about the potential for growth that Fall 2025 will bring,†added Castille.جج
The momentum for Fall 2025 builds on the success of Fall 2024, when the university
had one of its strongest years in recent history, with a 4% increase in overall headcount.
The university has slowly regained enrollment numbers over the last five years since
the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in reduced student populations for universities nationwide.ججج
“We’re encouraged by the early numbers and PREP attendance we’re seeing as we head
into the heart of PREP season,†said Sami Owens, Assistant Vice President of Admissions,
Scholarships, and Operations. “Our team remains focused on supporting students and
families as we move through the summer, knowing that enrollment numbers will continue
to shift until the semester begins,†continued Owens.ج
Preliminary enrollment numbers will continue to fluctuate throughout the remainder
of the summer until students begin the semester on August 18. The statistics for the
Fall 2025 semester will be official in early September, following the completion of
the add/drop process for students.جج
