William Woods Announces
Preliminary Enrollment Figures

FULTON, MO –Preliminary enrollment figures indicate that approximately 960 students will attend classes on the Fulton campus of William Woods University this fall. Classes began Aug. 22.

“I'm particularly proud and pleased with our strong freshman class in light of the economy and the A+ program the state provides to the community colleges,” Dr. Jahnae H. Barnett, WWU president, said. “In addition, our strong retention numbers indicate students are happy with their college decision.”

This year William Woods welcomed approximately 310 new students from 28 states and seven countries (Brazil, Canada, China, England, Ireland, Israel and Taiwan). Overall, 42 states are represented in the campus enrollment, with Missouri, Illinois, California, Texas and Colorado being the top five.

The overall enrollment has more than quintupled in the 21 years Barnett has been president. In 1990, before WWU added undergraduate and graduate programs for working adults, 713 students attended William Woods. Overall, WWU now enrolls 3,600 undergraduate and graduate students who take their classes in locations throughout Missouri and at sites in Arkansas.
