Delaware State University Fall Enrollment Reaches Record 7,407 in Its 135-Year History, Graduate Enrollment Up 27.1%
Delaware State University in Dover, Delaware, has announced fall enrollment of 7,407 students, up 784 from 6,623 a year ago, an increase of nearly 12% and the largest student population in the university's 135-year history. The university released the figures on November 10.
Of the 7,407 students, 5,959 attend its two Dover campuses or study online, up 7.8% from last year. Another 1,448 students are enrolled through the university's partnerships in the Caribbean, Asia and Africa, accounting for nearly one-fifth of the total.
Graduate study is the fastest-growing category. Graduate enrollment rose 27.1%, and online graduate enrollment rose 46.1%. President Tony Allen said the growth came from students who were already at the university and decided to keep going, and from a graduate school that working adults are choosing in record numbers.
Dual enrollment expanded sharply as well, rising 56%. A total of 684 high school students are earning college credit through the program, including 482 from Delaware.
Over a longer period, enrollment has grown by more than 47% since 2020, when the university enrolled 5,027 students. The university also reported its largest-ever class of Delaware freshmen. Qualifying Delaware high school graduates can receive four-year full tuition through the INSPIRE program, and more than 80% of new full-time Delaware freshmen are on the program.
