“Central State University’s 2016 incoming class of new first-time students allowed the University to achieve double-digit growth among new students.
New and increased recruitment efforts helped to fuel the growth. This year’s class of 634 first-time students is the largest in the past five years. It represents a 22 percent increase over Fall 2015. The University’s projections of new students were also exceeded when new transfer and College Credit Plus students were added.
Dr. Stephanie Krah, CSU’s Vice President for Student Affairs and Enrollment Management, said, “Our recruitment efforts increased the University’s visibility and once they heard about our academic programs, opportunities for growth and value, and their interest increased.”
