Southern Arkansas University’s record enrollment trend has continued this spring with a 6.7% overall enrollment increase, and an epic 33% bump in graduate student enrollment compared to Spring 2014.

SAU recorded an enrollment of 3,313 students on the eleventh class day of the spring semester on January 28, 2015. Following a momentous fall record of more than 500 students for the School of Graduate Studies, the spring saw another milestone reached as enrollment surpassed 600, with a total of 604.

“I congratulate all of the faculty and staff for the high quality education and experience they offer at SAU, which has garnered yet another enrollment record for our University,” said SAU President Dr. David Rankin, who is retiring effective June 30 of this year. “It’s an honor to be involved with everyone at this wonderful University.”
