As Tarleton State University celebrates its 125th anniversary, preliminary numbers indicate record enrollment of approximately 18,000 students, including the largest freshman class ever.
The university’s commitment to research, student success and infrastructure enhancement has sparked record enrollment in each of the past five years.
The class of 2028 exceeds 3,000 students for the first time, up 11% from the previous high and a 45% spike dating back to 2019.
“By all accounts, Tarleton State University is thriving,” said President Dr. James Hurley. “As we celebrate our 125th anniversary, our story is being told more loudly and broadly.”
At the start of the new academic year, more than 3,000 high school students, a 64% increase, are participating in Tarleton Today.
The university’s dual enrollment program that launched last fall allows students to earn university credit in agricultural and STEM areas while completing graduation requirements at Texas high schools.
In pursuit of earning recognition as a Hispanic-Serving Institution, fall enrollment for Hispanic students is around 24 percent.
The U.S. Department of Education recognizes nonprofit two- and four-year postsecondary schools with an undergraduate Hispanic student population of at least 25 percent (50 percent Pell Grant eligible).
Beyond enrollment successes, the university has exceeded its research expenditure record for the fifth consecutive year and has over $550 million of construction projects underway across all campuses.
