SHREVEPORT – For the second straight semester, LSU Shreveport is celebrating record enrollment.
LSUS enrolled 10,851 students this fall with growth in both undergraduate and graduate students.
That figure is up 11% from Fall 2023 and more than 24% from Fall 2022. LSUS broke the 10,000-mark for the first time in Spring 2024 with 10,214 students.
“I am very proud of the work that our faculty and staff are doing to recruit new students and to retain already enrolled students,” said LSUS Chancellor Robert Smith. “It is a clear testament to the dedication of our faculty and staff that our retention rate has risen so dramatically this year. This doesn’t happen by accident, but only because the entire LSUS team of faculty and staff is focused on the success of our students. It’s remarkable that our enrollment is up in every category: undergraduate, graduate, face-to-face and online.”
The 10,851 enrollment for Fall 2024 reflects new students in LSUS’s second accelerated fall session that began earlier in October.
LSUS’s graduate programs remain popular as its 8,118 students is a university record, growing 13% from Fall 2023.
