[EKU05]

EKU is a little bit above 16,000 total. Over 13,000 undergrads.

[Kabooom]

UM.....13,600 and a few..in fall 05

[lucchesicourt]

UC Davis is only around 30,000

[EKU05]

I may as well reply in this one too. EKU is a little over 16,000 with over 13,000 of those being undergrads.

[TheBisonator]

NDSU is approaching 13,000 very quickly. It was exactly 12,099 last year after an annual growth rate of 700-800 students for the previous several years. We probably won't get 13,000 this year, but in the next couple of years we're expected to become the largest school in enrollment in North Dakota (and in the whole Dakotas), surpassing und.

[poly51]

Cal Poly is 18000+

[BEAR]

UCA is about 12k...not bad considering it was only a few thousand in the early 90s! :)

[TheBisonator]

Just in case the other one gets deleted, I'll cut and paste:

Liberty is at 9975 resident undergrad students this fall.

Southeastern Louisiana has 16,068 and climbing. We now have the third largest enrollment in La. behind LSU and ULL.

[Frosty The Snowbuff]

Last I saw....our undergraduate enrollment is 8,788. I don't think this includes the incoming freshman class though. :read:

[Mountain Panther]

I think UNI is around 14,000 with grad students.

[seantaylor]

GSU is at 17,000

[bobcatfan06]

TxState is around 28,000. About 25,000 undergrads I think. Don't know the official enrollment numbers.

[DFW HOYA]

Georgetown: 6,000.

[ButlerGSU]

Georgia Southern: 16,500+

[spdram]

Richmond has about 3,000 undergrad and another 1,500 graduate (I do believe that counts our continuing studies programs--non-degree for many).

[PaladinFan]

Furman weighs in at about 2,600 souls. Few hundred more graduate students. Call it an even 3,000.

How we have a good football program is beyond me.

[RadMann]

Delaware has over 16,000 undergrads and over 3,000 grad students.

[Ivytalk]

Harvard has about 6600 undergrads>

[JoshUCA]

UCA is about 12k...not bad considering it was only a few thousand in the early 90s! :)
It has grown ALOT! When I started in 2001 the school had a little over 8,000, but by the time I left in 2005 we were pushing 10,500!

[Calif_Colonial]

Robert Morris has around 3,000 undergrads. Adult Continuing Ed. and Grad. Students, maybe the total is 4,800.

[kats89]

SHSU will be over 17k this fall with future estimates putting enrollment at 20k by 2007.

[89rabbit]

According to the 2006 Media Guide - - 11,021 (Fall of 2005)

You have good coaches who know how to recruit good players. It's not like the coaches just pick players out of that 2600. They are recruited to play football first and the fact that you school has a small enrollment has little to do with football. They may choose Furman because they like the small size, but Georgia Southern or App State have no advantage because they happen to have more students.

[chrisattsu]

It has grown ALOT! When I started in 2001 the school had a little over 8,000, but by the time I left in 2005 we were pushing 10,500!

When I started Tarleton (D2 here in Texas) we were just over 5500 students, this past year they were at like 9000. The school is growing in leaps and bounds.

[slostang]

Cal Poly was around 18,500 during the 2005/2006 school year.

[McNeeserocket]

McNeese had their highest enrollment last Fall of 2005 at 8992. Then Hurricane Rita hit and we lost about 1000 students (not literally).

The hurricane has caused a severe housing stortage with the complete destruction of many apartment complexes and partial destruction of others. Rental property is almost non-existant and very expensive. There are still thousands living in FEMA trailers here, so enrollment at McNeese will be very low. We are hoping that enrollment will be no less than 8000, but that may be optimistic at this point. Next week we know more as late enrollment continues through next week.

[SO ILLmatic]

somewhere in the ballpark of 21,000 I believe

[gr8ness97]

wow, lil ol WSSU was around 3000 when i came in fall 2003, and now we are 6000 undergrad

[CSU BUCS]

2500 undergrad, 500 grad.
A grand total of 3000, largest in school history.

[ucdtim17]

UCD will be near 31,000 this fall with a much larger than expected freshman class

[Tribe4SF]

W&M has about 5,300 undergrads, and about 2,000 grad students. The school intends to remain near these levels.

[Mike Johnson]

Furman weighs in at about 2,600 souls. Few hundred more graduate students. Call it an even 3,000.

How we have a good football program is beyond me.

Quality athletic programs, including football, are not directly a function of undergraduate enrollment. Undergraduate enrollment plays a roll--enthusiastic students filling the stands and paying fees that partially support the athletic program are important.

A better indicator might be the enrollment 20 years ago, the experience they had with athletics then, and the quality of the academic program. This is because most athletic funding comes from alumni 10 to 30 years out of college. The bettter the academic program, the more likely that they will earn the money needed to be able to support the athletics program at their alma mater. The more they enjoyed athletics as students, the more likely they will contribute the big bucks later on.

Today's enrollments will have a huge impact over the next three decades or so.

[LeopardFan04]

I think Lafayette is currently at about 2,300...although offhand I'm not sure of the official number...

[Cocky]

JSU will be somewhere between 9,000 and 10,000.

[th0m]

JMU is around 15,000 undergrad and around 1,500 grad students.

[TxState_GO_CATS!]

When I started Tarleton (D2 here in Texas) we were just over 5500 students, this past year they were at like 9000. The school is growing in leaps and bounds.

I think that can be said about most of the public schools in Texas. We had a MASSIVE jump in our recent past (post 2001) and are trying to keep our numbers from getting terribly high (trying to stay at no more than 28-29,000). SHS seems to be the one experiencing the most rapid growth right now in TX, so I guess it all just goes in spurts...:twocents:

[GeauxColonels]

Nicholls State is at 6,677 according to the 2006 Football Media Guide. I think that number is probably stale and based on last spring's enrollment. However, I don't expect the numbers to be too much higher than that.

[skinny_uncle]

somewhere in the ballpark of 21,000 I believe
21,500 according to the siu website.
SIU (http://www.siuc.edu/aboutsiuc/)

[vmisport]

VMI's enrollment is 1,250. The school is building an addition to barracks and by 2010 the enrollment will push to about 1,500.

[ThreadStopper]

UCD will be near 31,000 this fall with a much larger than expected freshman class

No wonder you guys beat that small Leland Stanford Junior University in Palo Alto!

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

Lehigh has about 4,700 Undergrads and about 2,000 grad students

My school, Temple, has 24,000 undergrads and 9,000 grad students. Temple is the largest issuer of professional degrees in the country.

[AndrewFU21]

Around 2,600 undergrads and close to 500 grad students.

[gophoenix]

Elon - over 5100 this year

[crunifan]

It seems that for a public university, UNI is pretty small. I would have never guessed that SIU, UC-Davis, and some others were as big as they are.

[HIU 93]

6000

[blukeys]

Lehigh has about 4,700 Undergrads and about 2,000 grad students

My school, Temple, has 24,000 undergrads and 9,000 grad students. Temple is the largest issuer of professional degrees in the country.


I actually knew this and Temple gets a bad rap as far as it's commitment to Graduate Education. It is very well known as a leader in advanced degree Education (EDD's) as is evidenced by Bill Cosby.

Unfortunately, this quality has rarely extended to its football program and Philly fans have responded appropriately.

[blur2005]

I believe I saw figures that put JMU at a little over 16,000 undergraduates and a little over 1,000 graduate students.

[th0m]

I believe I saw figures that put JMU at a little over 16,000 undergraduates and a little over 1,000 graduate students.

That's possible, I'm going by collegeboard.com data.

[lucchesicourt]

UC Davis could easily have attendance higher than UC Berkeley and UCLA in the near future (we are very close now) as Davis has a lot of room for expansion. The other UC's lack land area as compared to Davis. UC Davis may have the largest enrollment of any school that is not 1A in football. The only reason people aren't familiar with UCD, as compared to the other UC's, is the fact the other UC's have had schollie athletes for years and played at D1 level, while UCD sat in D2 non schollie.

[Tribe4SF]

UNI a small public university? W&M is a small public university. Many people don't know we are a state school. Norfolk State is also small. About the same as W&M.

I'm also surprised by the size of some of our I-AA schools, especially UC Davis and Cal Poly.

[Tribe4SF]

Harvard has about 6600 undergrads>

And over 12,000 graduate students.

[OL FU]

You have good coaches who know how to recruit good players. It's not like the coaches just pick players out of that 2600.

Yes and no, The small size and academic reputation can be helpful if a student is looking for that over another school. Typically larger state schools have more fan support (I said typically) and are willing to put more dollars into a program (I said typically) . Furman is an anomaly becauses it allocates the resources and its fans allocate the money and time. (in other words because it chooses to be so)

[BULLDOG8180]

The Citadel, about 2000 undergraduates, maybe 300 graduate students.

[arranger101]

I heard around 8k this fall.

[AppGuy04]

ASU

14,653 (12,619 undergraduate, 1,667 graduate, 367 non-degree)

[NoCoDanny]

12,300 per the football media guide.

[wkuhillhound]

Western Kentucky University is at 18,391. It is the fastest growing university in the state of Kentucky and it has the highest percentage of young graduates giving rate with less than 5 years out of college at 10%. I constantly get mail from WKU this is where I get my facts from.

[PaladinFan]

I agree. The size of your school doesn't necessairly have much to do with your football program. I think my point was that you can probably count on one hand the quality football programs at smaller private schools in all of D-I that can compete for a national title.

Furman and Miami? I'm sure there are others.

nb. I'm not comparing Furman to Miami in any way other than both being private schools that have a yearly shot at the NC.

[TheBisonator]

[TheBisonator]

It seems that for a public university, UNI is pretty small. I would have never guessed that SIU, UC-Davis, and some others were as big as they are.

I wouldn't call UNI having 14,000+ students "small" for a public school at all. The four Dakota flagship universities (UND, NDSU, SDSU, USD) last year had 12,900, 12,100, 11,000 and 8,100 students respectively. Montana State had just over 12,000. Heck, the U of Wyoming has just over 13,000.

[CSU BUCS]

I find these enrollment numbers staggering, considering that both "large" state schools here in SC (Univ. of South Carolina, and Clemson) both have enrollments of about 14,000.

[Green Cookie Monster]

Sacramento State has 28,972 students.

[Husky Alum]

Northeastern has about 14,500 undergrad students (per fall sports media guides), but of the 11,750 non-freshmen, only 50% are in school at any point in time because of co-op.

We have more grad students, part time grad and undergrad students, and students in certificate programs than my mind can fathom.
