Powered by a large incoming freshman class and improved retention, the university saw a 3% increase in its total enrollment for the fall 2021 semester compared to fall 2020, bringing it to 10,106 students.

“It’s exciting to see UM returning to growth. We’ve spent the last couple of years really working hard to adapt how we recruit students, but also how we retain students,” said UM President Seth Bodnar on Monday. “I think there are lots of really positive indicators.”
