CITY, N.D. (NewsDakota.com) Valley City State University has set a record with its final Fall Semester 2015 enrollment figures, which show a total headcount of 1,422. That number surpasses the previous high of a 1,384 headcount in 2011.

“The record enrollment we’re experiencing this fall reflects the quality education offered at VCSU,” said President Tisa Mason. “Not only are we attracting more new students, we’re also retaining more students who have entered the university and decided to stay at Valley City State.”

The record enrollment follows a record class of graduates in 2015, when VCSU awarded 302 degrees to 255 undergraduates and 47 graduate students.

“That we’re able to graduate record numbers while at the same time growing our student body speaks to the attractiveness of our programs,” said President Mason. “Consistently we’ve paired solid academics with a personal campus experience, and students and families have recognized the value of a Valley City State education. We’re very proud of our university and the students, faculty, staff, alumni, and friends who contribute to our success—this is a team effort.”
