UNCG reaches highest total enrollment since 2020

The University of North Carolina at Greensboro (UNCG) has surpassed 19,000 students this fall, marking its highest total enrollment since 2020. The university welcomed its largest incoming first-year class since 2019, with over 2,700 new students beginning their studies.

UNCG has also set a new record for graduate student enrollment, though specific figures have not yet been released. The university stated that the increase in total student numbers reflects its growing appeal and the breadth of its academic offerings.

Overall enrollment figures at higher education institutions have seen fluctuations in recent years, influenced by the pandemic and shifting student demands. UNCG's growth contrasts with some national trends that have shown leveling off or declines.

The university anticipates this growth will support its strategic objectives, including advancing research and strengthening campus community. Further details on student distribution by program and department are expected to be released.
