New undergraduate enrollment highest since 2009
LINCOLN UNIVERSITY, PA – Student enrollment at Lincoln University increased four percent since the previous year highlighting increased recruitment and outreach efforts at the nation’s first degree-granting Historically Black College & University (HBCU), university officials report.
Nationally, many institutions are facing stagnant and declining enrollment. Since 2010, enrollment at Lincoln had steadily declined from 2,361 students to 1,819 students in 2014. However, current total enrollment, for both undergraduate and graduate, is now 1,905 students for Fall 2015.
“Our enrollment success is a tribute to the hard work and dedication last year of our Enrollment Management team and their commitment to access and equity for all students,” said Kimberly Taylor-Benns, associate vice president for enrollment management. “Lincoln University’s admissions leadership and counselors, have earnestly, examined and adopted some of the best practices in enrollment management, and it has resulted in increased enrollment. We are ecstatic and will continue to employ additional best practices to position ourselves for success in 2016.”
Specifically, new undergraduate enrollment, 558 students, is the highest since 2009 and new graduate enrollment, 86 graduate students, is the highest since 2012.
