UNT is expecting this semester’s freshman class to be the largest in university history, Vice Provost for Enrollment Management Troy Johnson said.
Preliminary headcount numbers won’t be released until the 12th class day of the semester, but Johnson estimated that the freshman class had grown by about 10 percent. The expected addition of 380 new students brings the freshman class to about 4,000 students.
“I believe our academic programs, campus environment and affordable tuition play a vital role for this record-breaking class,” he said. “UNT has spent multiple years of efforts on targeting admission and financial aid to attract more students.”
Although total enrollment at UNT has been down, Johnson said the number of freshmen enrolling at the university has been on the rise since last year.
According to the online UNT Fact Book, last year’s freshman class of 3,600 students was the largest freshman class since 2005.
