Record-high summer enrollment numbers at Mizzou

The University of Missouri reported record-high summer enrollment numbers Tuesday, despite an expected decline in fall enrollment. Summer session opened over the weekend, and the school is reporting a 2.2% increase from 13,396 students last year to 13,697 this year.

Interim Vice Provost for enrollment management Kim Humphrey said, “We’re very pleased to see that students continue to recognize the educational opportunities available to them at Mizzou. Our summer enrollment continues to grow at a healthy rate. Our mission to educate the future leaders of the state and nation continues.”

Undergraduate enrollment was also up 4.7% or 413 students from last year.

Mizzou Online also saw an increase this year of 13.25%, putting enrollment in the program at 8,112. That accounts for on campus and distance learning students.

Kim Siegenthaler, the Director of Mizzou Online said, “Mizzou continues to expand our online offerings to help our campus students take classes that might not fit into their regular schedules, simultaneously providing high-quality instruction to distance students who know that a Mizzou education will provide them with the best skills for their chosen areas.”
