Total enrollment at the University of Iowa has reached a record high this fall, with 31,498 students attending the university, including 21,999 undergraduates, 4,470 of which are first-year freshmen. We’re very pleased with our overall enrollment and particularly the makeup of the incoming cohort.
This class is Iowa’s most diverse ever, with 16.2 percent—725 students— identifying as minorities, continuing a trend that has seen that mark grow from 12.6 percent in 2010 and 14.2 percent last year.
Iowa residents make up 47.2 percent of the class, a 2 percent increase from last year. Domestic nonresidents account for 43.9 percent, and international students represent 8.9 percent of the class.
