MINOT, N.D. – Minot State University reported its first-day headcount enrollment as 2,761 students, an increase of 64 students (2.4%) over 2021 to begin the Fall 2022 semester.
The University had strong enrollment numbers from its freshman and transfer classes. Minot State was up 3.1% in freshmen with 394 new students, the third highest first-day total in the past nine years. MSU also saw an increase of 25 new transfer students for an increase of 10.5%.
“We are pleased with our first-day enrollment numbers, especially with increases in new freshmen and transfer students,” said Minot State President Steven Shirley. “After the past two years with the uncertainty associated with COVID, it has been nice returning to a more normal recruiting year and the efforts of our enrollment team, as well as our entire campus, have paid off. We will continue enrolling students in the coming weeks and look forward to an exciting and productive academic year.”
MSU was up 6.7% (115 students) overall in North Dakota and maintained steady growth in online students with its fifth straight increase for a total of 1,629 students taking at least one online class.
The official enrollment numbers will change as Minot State’s final numbers are not reported to the North Dakota University System (NDUS) until after the fourth week of classes.
