Despite national headlines of steep enrollment declines across higher education, �鶹��Ƶ is bucking the trend, having attained its highest total enrollment in the history of the institution. Fall 2024 Census indicates 1,705 enrolled students, a 10% increase over Fall 2023.  

�鶹��Ƶ “We are beyond excited that now, more than any time in the College �鶹��Ƶ ’s 156-year history, more students have the opportunity to benefit from an outstanding Wilson education. Our approach to providing an affordable education rooted in the liberal arts and sciences with a strong career focus in a welcoming and supportive learning environment is resonating. Over the last decade, Wilson �鶹��Ƶ ’s faculty and staff have worked strategically to provide innovative curricula delivered through various learning modalities that meet the needs of diverse populations of students. The results show 158% growth since the fall of 2013 when enrollment was only 662 students, �鶹��Ƶ ” said President Wesley R. Fugate, Ph.D.  

Two key categories of students have contributed to this year �鶹��Ƶ ’s enrollment growth. Wilson �鶹��Ƶ ’s Teacher Certification Program continues to expand, now with 391 students, 18% more than those enrolled during 2023-2024. Wilson proudly certifies a significant number of adults with a bachelor �鶹��Ƶ ’s degree who seek to make a career change and become teachers in Pennsylvania. In addition, students continue to embrace �鶹��Ƶ Online and the flexibility to earn a Wilson degree fully online. A total of 342 undergraduate and graduate degree seekers enrolled in �鶹��Ƶ Online for Fall 2024, more than doubling enrollment since Fall 2023. This is an impressive feat, given this new online modality is only in its second full year of existence.  

Wilson �鶹��Ƶ ’s full-time undergraduate students remained steady with 555 students, compared to 544 in Fall 2023. �鶹��Ƶ  These numbers speak to the innovation and resiliency of Wilson. The College is growing, creating new modalities of learning, and announcing new degrees of study to meet the needs of today �鶹��Ƶ ’s students. Join us in celebrating this historic moment in the life of the College. The future is truly bright at Wilson.
