BOZEMAN – Montana State University has set an enrollment record this fall at 16,902 students.

The number marks the most students the university has ever had in their 125 years. MSU has also set a retention rate record and their four-to-six-year graduation rate has gone up as well.

“We credit most of our success to our faculty and staff. They are out there working every single day to make sure students are finding the help they need, the classes they need and that they are provided with as much opportunity and access to higher education as possible,” said MSU News Service Director Michael Becker.

MSU has enjoyed seeing moderate growth at the university over the years.
