Over the fall semester, administrators talked about the importance of enrollment and student admission.
“We were three million lower on summer revenues. And the fall and spring terms are planned to be $1.8 million gross revenue reduction,” Vice President and Chief Financial Officer Jeff Ulliman said in a Board of Trustees meeting.
Of the nearly 16 thousand students at the Dayton Campus and the 1,400 Lake campus students, around 2,500 of those students are freshmen who started Wright State in the fall semester
Instead of looking at the new incoming students as dollars and revenue, here is a breakdown of who the class of 2021 are.
According to the Senior Institutional Research and Analytics, of the 2,526 freshman, 97 percent are younger than 19 years old and 25 percent are first generation college students.
The university as a whole has less than 5,000 students over the age of 25.
Forty-six percent of freshmen students living on campus at one of the universities locations in Hamilton Hall, Honors Community, The Woods, College Park, Forest Lane, University Park or The Village.
The percentage of freshmen females is 10 percent higher than males, with female students making up 55 percent of the class of 2021.
This year’s freshman class is also diverse – 22 percent are international students and 21 percent are minority students.
