IU East sets more enrollment records with 4,573 students

IU East enrolled 413 freshmen for classes this fall, a record by two students and nine higher than last year’s incoming class.

The freshman class is part of Indiana University East’s record-breaking fall semester enrollment with 4,573 students, a 2.6 percent increase from 4,456 last fall.

This is the seventh consecutive fall the campus has experienced historic enrollment growth. Since fall 2007, IU East’s headcount enrollment has doubled.

“The incoming freshman class is our largest bachelor’s degree-seeking class in the campus’ history, demonstrating that more students in the region select IU East as the school of choice,” said Chancellor Kathryn Cruz-Uribe.

The incoming class has 34 percent more students with academic honors from their respective high schools than last fall, a gain from 117 to 157. The number of 21st Century Scholars in the class increased from 108 to 134.
