The University of South Alabama (USA) is bursting at the seams with its biggest freshman class EVER! This fall marks the third year in a row the university's overall enrollment has climbed, according to official numbers. Total student headcount jumped to a whopping 14,285, up from 14,003 last year. What's driving the surge? A tidal wave of undergrads, including a staggering 2,137 brand-new freshmen! And the good news doesn't stop there – record numbers of students are sticking around for their third and fourth years! University President Jo Bonner is giving major props to the faculty and staff for keeping the momentum going. "It's all thanks to them!" Bonner said, emphasizing their hard work in making South Alabama a top choice for students. Freshman enrollment has skyrocketed over 30% in the past three years. The secret? A serious recruitment blitz, including tons of high school visits and 51 "Jag Days" where students get to experience campus life firsthand! Not only is the freshman class huge, but it's also super smart, boasting a record-tying average GPA of 3.75! Executive Vice President and Provost Dr. Andi Kent is pumped about the growth in both size and quality. "There's truly something special happening here at South," Kent said. "We're proud to see more and more students choosing to be a part of it." With a record-breaking freshman class and three years of growth, South Alabama is clearly on the rise! New recruitment strategies and more academic options are fueling the fire, and more students than ever are choosing to call campus home!South Alabama Sees Record-Breaking Freshman Class!
