Radford University welcomes close to 1,900 new freshmen to campus this week. This group of students represents the largest freshman class in more than two decades.
Total enrollment of undergraduate and graduate students is expected to reach 9,200. Last year, the enrollment was 9,122. “This is a testament to the great teaching in our classrooms and the environment in which our students learn. These students come to RU because of our reputation as an outstanding student-centered university,” says RU provost Wil Stanton. According to early estimates, the university has enrolled 1,050 graduate students, five of them being in the inaugural Doctorate of Psychology in counseling psychology program. RU received a record number 8,850 freshman and transfer student applications. About 92% of RU’s student population is from Virginia. The out-of-state student population hails from more than 25 states across the nation including Hawaii, California, Alaska, South Carolina, New York and Maryland and countries including Croatia, India and Romania.
