It’s another record-setting year for ��������.

For the first time this fall, freshman enrollment topped 695 new students— exceeding last year’s record by more than 44 students.

This is the third consecutive year that Dominican has recorded its highest number of first-year students in university history. In 2022, DU welcomed just over 600 freshmen for the first time.

Transfer student and graduate student enrollment has also increased, and overall student retention remains strong, university data shows.

The growth experienced this year is especially meaningful given the challenges of the new Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) process, which delayed financial aid packages to prospective students across the country and impacted enrollment at many small colleges, noted �������� President Dr. Glena G. Temple.

“Dominican not only weathered these uncertainties, but saw our expectations exceeded,” she said. “This is a real testament to our reputation as a premier, top-ranking Catholic university, and I am proud that so many students recognize that a Dominican education is valuable and as relevant as ever—even in these constantly changing and challenging times.”
