WSU Everett grows a bit this fall
EVERETT — It’s not a dramatic increase, but it is a good direction.
Enrollment at Washington State University Everett has grown by the equivalent of eight full-time students this fall, up nearly 3% from fall of 2018.
That number now stands at 283 for the campus on Broadway, according to statistics released Wednesday. By contrast, the head count of full- and part-time students at WSU Everett is 320 this fall, an increase of 32 students from a year ago.
“We are excited that in a period that in a lot of cases universities are reducing enrollment nationwide we are increasing enrollment,” said Randy Bolerjack, a WSU Everett spokesman.
Enrollment was flat or dipped slightly at WSU campuses in Pullman and the Tri-Cities and increased by less than 1% in Spokane and Vancouver. Even so, Washington State University set an enrollment record this fall, welcoming 31,607 students systemwide.
Overall enrollment for the fall of 2019 semester topped last fall’s record of 31,478 by 129 students, or 0.4% across the university’s six campuses. The largest increases were seen at WSU Everett and in WSU Global online classes, which grew by 2.9% and 5.8%, respectively.
