The numbers tell the story: demand for a degree from the state’s flagship technological university has never been stronger.
Michigan Tech welcomed 7,320 students this fall — including 1,463 incoming first-year students — marking both the third consecutive year of overall enrollment growth and the most Huskies on campus since 1983.
That total includes 2,206 women, the University’s highest number ever, and women will make up over 30% of the student body for the first time in school history. Overall enrollment is up 3.5%, with domestic students from historically underserved communities making up 11% of the student body and 13% of the incoming class of first-year students.
Additionally, Global Campus enrollment is up nearly 11%, the College of Business is up 21%, and graduate student enrollment as a whole is up 4.3% over last year — which makes this the largest class of graduate students since 2016.
“It’s no surprise that our excellent academic programs are driving unprecedented interest from our students at a rate outpacing national trends,” said Rick Koubek, University president.
