This is a 2.1 percent increase from last year’s record of 107,160. This is also the third consecutive year enrollment has topped 100,000.

Also a first, Indiana University-East is no longer the smallest of IU’s campuses. The school saw the largest increase of all, with a 19.5 percent increase from its fall 2009 record. IU-Kokomo is now the smallest campus.

Undergraduate enrollment increased by 2.6 percent this semester, up to 88,067 students. Graduate student enrollment also increased, with 21,278 in total and doctoral-practice student enrollment up 8.1 percent to 989 students.
