Arkansas State University-Beebe’s fall enrollment rose 8.7% over last year for a third consecutive year of growth, according to preliminary 11th-day reports.
“This continued growth reflects our ongoing commitment to providing quality education and supporting our students' success,” said Dr. Jennifer Methvin, chancellor of ASU-Beebe.
Total enrollment of 3,271 students is up 261 students from 3,010 in fall 2023. First-time transfer student enrollment is up 32.3%, and concurrent high school student enrollment rose 15.8%. Total semester credit hours increased 5.9%.
"We are incredibly proud of the growth we're seeing at ASU-Beebe," Methvin said. "Our faculty and staff have shown exceptional dedication in recruiting, advising, teaching and supporting our students, and their hard work is truly paying off. It's inspiring to see so many students taking larger class loads, fully committing to their educations and striving to meet their academic goals. The energy on our campuses is vibrant, and it's an exciting time to be part of the ASU-Beebe community."
Since 2022, ASU-Beebe has experienced a 24% increase in on-campus housing occupancy as more students pursue a traditional college experience.
“This growth demonstrates the strong sense of community and environment we provide, making on-campus living an attractive choice for students,” Methvin said. “We are excited to see more students choosing to live on campus, where they can take full advantage of the academic support and social opportunities available at ASU-Beebe.”
