VERMONT – More than 1,700 first-year students are expected to enroll at Vermont State University, an increase of about 14% compared with fall 2023 and a sign of hope for the public, multicampus university.
The roughly 200-student enrollment bump in the university’s second-ever fall semester, just over a year after it was formally created, represents welcome news as it works to shore up its financial state.
“We were laser-focused on stability and enrollment this year and these numbers are a testament to that work,” interim President David Bergh said in a press release announcing the figures. “We’ll continue this essential work in partnership with the state and with our communities to carry this year’s success through the recruitment and ultimately the retention of our future classes.”
