SIU Edwardsville Sees Slight Enrollment Drop

SIU Edwardsville is reporting a small decrease in its Fall 2017 enrollment, when compared to a year ago.

Overall SIUE enrollment is down 2.4%, to 13,796 students.

Campus leaders point to growth in the School of Nursing and in online enrollment as positives, and they say academic success of incoming students is encouraging – averaging a 23.4 ACT score for incoming freshmen.

Declines came from the Illinois population and Missouri, but the school saw increases in students from other states.

SIU Carbondale reported an 8.6% decline in its Fall 2017 numbers this week. Total enrollment in Carbondale stands at 14,554.

Jennifer Fuller joined Capitol News Illinois in July 2023 as the organization’s broadcast director. She will oversee the launch and operations of CNI’s new broadcast division.
