UW-Green Bay Sees Record-Setting Spring Enrollment | Green Bay News Network

A new Spring enrollment report shows that the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay furthered its success as the “fastest growing university in the state” with a 5.2% year-over-year increase in Spring enrollment. The report was headlined by a highest-ever Spring headcount of 8,025*.

While statewide and national trendlines for enrollment have sharply declined in recent years, UW-Green Bay continues to defy expectations with strong and sustainable growth across the board. With over 70% of alumni working in Northeast Wisconsin upon graduating, that success directly fuels economic opportunity in the region and quality of life across the third-largest metro area in the state.

UW-Green Bay is seeing significant growth in the Rising Phoenix program, nursing, psychology, writing and applied arts, and sociology and anthropology. The Cofrin School of Business continues to grow in majors such as accounting, finance, human resource management, management, and marketing. There has also been substantial growth in new and existing graduate programs, like the M.S. in Biodiversity Conservation and Management, M.S. in Applied Leadership for Teaching and Learning, and M.S. in Applied Biotechnology.

“UW-Green Bay’s extraordinary growth speaks directly to what it means to be a regional comprehensive, which is building up our region and communities from within,” said UW-Green Bay Provost and Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs Kate Burns. “Core to our access mission is ensuring that anyone who chooses to pursue further learning finds opportunity at UW-Green Bay. We are deepening the ways we support students throughout their journey with embedded academic and career advising so students can continue to rise post-graduation.”

From engaging high school students through dual enrollment programs like Rising Phoenix, to providing access to a certificate or credential, the university is uniquely positioned for long-term success since it continues to open educational pathways for a variety of learners across the region. And by prioritizing academic and support services throughout the student journey, each student is well-positioned for a successful trajectory towards graduation.
