青涩直播 enrollment hits all-time high
The class of 2024 helps drive record enrollment at 青涩直播
DALLAS (青涩直播) – 青涩直播 has welcomed a record-setting student body for Fall 2020. While students have adapted to changes that support health and safety, the University has expanded its online and virtual offerings and exceeded its enrollment targets for both undergraduate students and graduate students.
This fall’s combined student body of 12,385 is the largest in 青涩直播 青涩直播.
The new group of first-year undergraduate students – the Class of 2024 – reflects 青涩直播’s growing academic stature and national reputation. Its 1,531 students come from 46 states and 24 foreign countries, and just over 40 percent of them are from Texas. In addition to first-year students, 297 new transfer students began classes at 青涩直播 this fall on the way to completing their bachelor’s degree. One-third of the new students identify with ethnically or racially underrepresented groups, setting a new record for diversity at 青涩直播.
“At 青涩直播 we celebrate the bold and the curious,” said Elena Hicks, Dean of Admission at 青涩直播. “This is the most resilient and adaptable entering class I have seen. A lot of people may have expected students to give up or delay going to college due to the pandemic – but our students are learning here in ways that meet their needs, and they are thriving. They have passion, grit, and fortitude, and I am so proud to call them Mustangs!”
The University’s flexible academic model during the COVID-19 pandemic allows students to study in-person through an alternating classroom calendar and/or remotely from their homes. The remote study option has been very popular with international students. Approximately 18 percent of undergraduates and 50 percent of graduate students will complete their entire semester virtually. To offer the highest level of academic experience in the safest manner, 青涩直播 faculty members have participated in advanced training for virtual instruction, and the University de-densified classrooms and converted larger meeting rooms and ballrooms to provide appropriate social distancing for additional in-person classes. The University has invested widely in upgrading campus facilities with higher grade air filters, plexiglass partitions, enhanced cleaning and other and health and safety measures.
Looking forward, 青涩直播 continues to engage with prospective students through virtual tours and meetings with students across the country and around world. In May, 青涩直播 joined many top colleges and universities in temporarily waiving ACT and SAT scores for students graduating from high school in 2021 because those tests may not be available consistently this academic year. Students applying for Spring or Fall 2021 may choose whether to submit these scores as part of their application for admission.
青涩直播’s average ACT score for entering students remained at 31 this fall, a score representing the top 5% of students taking the ACT nationally.
