Tuscarawas Campus - Fall 2015
Larger. Smarter. Stronger. Kent State’s Record Enrollment Showcases University Momentum
Kent Campus, international population set new all-time highs in total enrollment
Kent State University continues to set records with robust enrollment numbers, impressive retention rates, strong diversity
and incoming freshmen who are ready to succeed.
In releasing its official 15th day census data for the 2015 Fall Semester, Kent State’s Kent Campus reported 28,981 enrolled
students, a new all-time high for the seventh consecutive year and an increase of 524 students from one year ago.
The Kent Campus is also welcoming a high-achieving freshman class of 4,295 students boasting an average GPA of 3.3 and
average ACT scores topping 23; both are records for an incoming freshman class. It is the second-largest freshman class in
the university’s 105-year history with an increase of 50 students from the freshman class that entered in fall 2014.
“The Class of 2019 has hit the ground running while bringing with them proof of what it takes to be successful in college,”
said Kent State President Beverly Warren. “Our record enrollment and consistent growth are a testimony that Kent State
University is on the rise due in large part to the international recognition of our faculty and outstanding academic programs.
We will continue to put students first with the knowledge that we are preparing the leaders and job creators of tomorrow.”
Record enrollment at the Kent Campus was fueled in part by the university’s international enrollment topping 3,000
students, a growth of an extraordinary 348 percent since 2008 when there were 854 international students.
“We have welcomed students from 111 countries who have chosen Kent State over other American universities,” said Todd
Diacon, Kent State’s senior vice president for academic affairs and provost. “They know we offer the challenging curriculum
they seek, and they can see the value of a Kent State degree worldwide.”
An increased effort with academic advisors has paid dividends as retention of last year’s freshman class remained strong at
81.2 percent on the Kent Campus and rose to 58.2 percent, up from 56.9 percent last year, at Kent State’s Regional
Campuses. This represents the percentage of freshmen who continue their studies at the university for their sophomore year.
Total enrollment for the 2015 Fall Semester across the university’s eight campuses is 41,005 students. The unduplicated
headcount for the Regional Campuses is 12,024 students. Students are counted only once at the campus at which they hold a
majority of their course load. After a significant increase in enrollment due to the recession, enrollment at the Regional
Campuses has adjusted to the current economic climate and is in line with its expected enrollment under normal conditions.
T. David Garcia, Kent State’s senior associate vice president for strategic enrollment management, said the university’s
mission to recruit students who are highly academically motivated is paying dividends along with a commitment to attract
strong diversity.
“Across the eight-campus system, we value diversity, and we plan to continue on a path of inclusive excellence where all
members of our community feel welcomed and supported,” Garcia said. “Kent State is a university for everyone, and it’s why
we’re seeing growth across the board in students and their families wanting to be part of it.”
