俄勒冈州乔治福克斯大学2026年秋季注册4,373人连续第三年创纪录：传统本科首破2,500人，研究生1,555人
俄勒冈州纽伯格市（Newberg）乔治福克斯大学（George Fox University）发布称，该校2026年秋季学期总注册达到4,373人，连续第三个秋季创校史纪录；校方称，这是校长罗宾·贝克（Robin Baker）2007年就任以来该校第11次创下注册纪录。
校方称，传统本科注册同样创历史新高，首次突破2,500人，动力来自该校历史上最大的三届新生届别之一与强劲的留存率：本届新生652人、转学生98人，返校学生1,762人同创纪录。成人与在线学习方面，加速学位注册超过300人，为校史上第五次达到这一水平，校方称新推出的90学分学位路径带动了增长，加速教师学位项目的新生届别较去年接近翻倍。
研究生项目总注册1,555人，校方称社会工作硕士与作业治疗项目的入读届别创纪录，护理实践博士项目满额招生。校方说明，上述数字不包括预计在本学年注册的约850名双学分高中生。
校方表示，这一成绩出现在全国高中毕业生总数下降的「人口悬崖」到来之际，太平洋西北地区与全国许多高校正经历注册下滑；校方将多年增长归因于第一年学生体验、校园文化，以及在医疗教育上的战略投入，包括为应对俄勒冈州特别是农村地区医疗专业人员短缺而扩展的项目。校方介绍，乔治福克斯大学是俄勒冈州最大的私立大学，在纽伯格校区、波特兰与雷德蒙德（Redmond）区域中心及在线授课，开设60余个本科项目与21个研究生学位。

George Fox University in Oregon Sets Third Straight Enrollment Record at 4,373 for Fall 2026, With Graduate Enrollment at 1,555
George Fox University in Newberg, Oregon, announced that total enrollment for the fall 2026 semester reached 4,373 students, a record for the third consecutive fall and, the university said, the 11th enrollment record established during the tenure of President Robin Baker, who took office in 2007.
Traditional undergraduate enrollment also hit a record high, exceeding 2,500 students for the first time, driven by one of the three largest incoming classes in university history and strong retention. The incoming class comprised 652 first-year and 98 transfer students, alongside a record 1,762 returning students. Accelerated degree enrollment exceeded 300 students for just the fifth time in institutional history, propelled by new 90-credit degree tracks, and the accelerated teaching degree program nearly doubled its incoming cohort compared to last year.
Graduate programs reached 1,555 students, led by record incoming cohorts in the Master of Social Work and Occupational Therapy programs and full-capacity enrollment in the Doctor of Nursing Practice program. The university said the figures do not include roughly 850 dual-enrollment high school students expected to enroll during the academic year.
The university said the milestone coincides with the arrival of the nationwide demographic cliff, a decline in the total number of high school graduates, while many colleges in the Pacific Northwest and across the country face enrollment drops. It attributed its growth to its first-year student experience, campus culture and strategic investments in healthcare education, including programs addressing shortages of medical professionals in Oregon, particularly in rural communities. George Fox described itself as Oregon's largest private university, enrolling students at its Newberg campus, regional centers in Portland and Redmond and online, with more than 60 undergraduate programs and 21 graduate degrees.
