YSU enrollment at its highest in 13 years

YOUNGSTOWN — Enrollment at Youngstown State University is at its highest level in 13 years.

The university recorded 13,497 students on campus this fall semester, according to preliminary official enrollment numbers released today.

That’s an increase of 314 students or 2.4 percent from fall 2006.

It is the highest enrollment since 13,979 students were attending classes in fall semester 1994.

Since fall 2000, enrollment is up 1,701 students or 14.5 percent.

“To maintain enrollment increases of this magnitude in a region that continues to lose population is a reflection of the hard work and dedication of thousands of faculty, staff, students and community members,” said David C. Sweet, YSU president.
