JAMESTOWN, N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – The University of Jamestown reports that it is at its highest enrollment since 2002.

The latest numbers released from the University show that 1,135 students are currently enrolled, an increase of 3.3% from last year. It’s confirmed as the second-highest enrollment in UJ history.

During the UJ Place Groundbreaking Ceremony Monday, President Polly Peterson reported that only 35 students are part-time, meaning 1,100 students who attend the University are full-time.

UJ Place is expected to fulfill the need for on-campus housing once it’s completed in the Fall of 2020.

The University expects to graduate over 200 students in both graduate and undergraduate levels in 2020.
