Colorado State University enrolled its largest and most diverse freshman class this fall, according to numbers released Tuesday by the school.
CSU enrolled 4,737 freshmen, including 958 (20 percent) minorities. Total enrollment also hit a record high, climbing this year to 32,236 students, including 17.5 percent who are “racially or ethnically diverse.”
In a news release announcing the enrollment numbers, the university also highlighted increasing numbers of international students, representing 7.2 percent of students on campus, and first-generation students among incoming Colorado new and transfer students.
Colleges in the state have seen similar trends in recent years. Last year, the University of Colorado Denver had the first freshman class that had a majority of minority students.
