MINOT, N.D. - Minot State University reported its Fall 2024 enrollment as 2,751 students, a 0.4% increase over its Fall 2023 semester enrollment.
The University saw its biggest growth area in transfer students, with a 7.1% increase and its largest fall transfer class since 2020. A total of 271 students transferred to Minot State for the fall semester, combined with 353 new freshmen and 84 new graduate students, for 708 new students attending in the fall.
"We are excited this fall to see an increase in students attending Minot State University," said Minot State President Dr. Steven Shirley. "This is our second consecutive semester of year-over-year growth at MSU, and it is encouraging to have more students choosing from the breadth and depth of outstanding academic programming at MSU as part of their educational plans. With our largest enrollment of transfer students since 2020, it is also heartening to see a significant number of students who initially began at another institution now opting to continue their education at MSU."
Minot State's Hometown Pride Scholarship, now in its third year, paid dividends as MSU saw a 4.6% increase in students from Ward County. Minot State's 1,298 students from Ward County are the most since 2021.
