The previous high of 11,775 was established in fall 2024.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUTC\u2019s 2025 enrollment of 12,060 students marks a significant milestone on our path to 15,000 by 2030,\u201d UTC Chancellor Lori Bruce said. \u201cBut this isn\u2019t just about numbers. More and more students from across Tennessee, around the country\u2014and even internationally\u2014are choosing UTC because of the value of our degrees, the strength of our academic programs, the rich campus life and the opportunities to launch successful careers right here in Chattanooga.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This fall\u2019s enrollment highlights include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>An overall enrollment of 12,060, the highest figure in the University\u2019s 139-year history.<\/li>\n<li>A record 1,664 graduate students, an increase of nearly 6% from last year.<\/li>\n<li>613 new graduate students, a 38.7% increase from fall 2024.<\/li>\n<li>2,363 first-time, full-time freshmen\u2014the second-highest total in school history.<\/li>\n<li>733 new transfer students, up 4.7% from last year.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Bruce said the growth of graduate enrollment is especially notable.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMany of our graduate students are working professionals who need flexible options, so we\u2019ve expanded our online and hybrid programs to meet their needs,\u201d she said. \u201cWhether they\u2019re advancing in their current careers or pivoting to new ones, UTC provides opportunities that fit their lives.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The University also reported gains in student success measures. UTC\u2019s one-year retention rate for the 2024 freshman class is 73.3%, up 1.4 percentage points from the previous year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur strategic focus on student success is making a difference,\u201d Bruce said. \u201cWe are committed to helping students enroll at UTC, continue their studies, graduate and succeed in their careers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Through its four academic colleges, Honors College and Graduate School, UTC offers 49 bachelor\u2019s degrees with 116 program concentrations; eight undergraduate certificate programs; 30 graduate certificate programs; 23 master\u2019s degree programs with 49 program concentrations; an education specialist program with three program concentrations; and six doctoral degrees with 10 program concentrations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga announced a record enrollment figure for fall 2025, reporting an official enrollment of 12,060 students\u2014the largest in school history.<\/p>\n<p class=\"more-link-wrap\"><span><a class=\"more-link button text\" href=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/2025\/09\/utc-announces-record-fall-enrollment-surpassing-12000-for-first-time\/\"><span>Continue Reading <\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":70820,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_slider":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_featurette":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[661,70,123864,72,15,61,59,56,3,7712,57,52,8244,64,8293],"tags":[123827,123824,125808,125603,123829],"class_list":{"0":"post-70738","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-academics","8":"category-advancement-and-alumni","9":"category-athletics","10":"category-campus","11":"category-college-of-arts-sciences","12":"category-college-of-engineering-and-computer-science","13":"category-college-of-health-education-and-professional-studies","14":"category-community","15":"category-faculty-and-staff","16":"category-college-of-business","17":"category-graduate-school","18":"category-honors-and-awards","19":"category-news","20":"category-office-of-the-chancellor","21":"category-students","22":"tag-creating-the-mocs-experience","23":"tag-enrollment-management-and-student-affairs","24":"tag-lori-bruce","25":"tag-lori-mann-bruce","26":"tag-operating-with-excellence","27":"entry"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
