The 3,603 students in class at FPU in the fall of 2011 represent an increase of 9 percent over 2010, and 51 percent over the last three years. 

With official figures available as of the university’s 16-day census September 23, enrollment is up in traditional undergraduate, bachelor’s degree completion and graduate programs, including the seminary.

Early enrollment numbers are breaking records at Fresno Pacific University.

Enrollment at Fresno Pacific University reached a milestone this fall, as the traditional undergraduate program grew to more than 900 students.

“This is a more than 50 percent increase in the last four years,” said Stephen Varvis, dean of the college. “We are going to celebrate.”

A new president, a strong financial picture and a comprehensive building plan complement continuing enrollment gains at Fresno Pacific University.

The traditional undergraduate program at Fresno Pacific University continues to attract larger numbers of academically well-prepared students from diverse ethnic backgrounds, contributing to strong enrollment throughout the university’s three schools.
