STEPHENVILLE, Texas \u2014 It just keeps getting better. Tarleton State University begins spring 2022 with all-time record enrollment and retention, surpassing last year\u2019s previous high and up 6.6 percent from its pre-pandemic count.

Fall-to-spring retention is 89.26 percent \u2014 the highest in university history \u2014 with a preliminary headcount of more than 13,300 students taking courses in Stephenville, Fort Worth, Waco, Midlothian, Bryan and online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThese are exciting times at Tarleton as more and more students see our university as a first-choice destination,\u201d said President James Hurley. \u201cIt\u2019s no secret that we\u2019re a front runner for anyone seeking a university education.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fall-to-spring Hispanic student retention surpasses 90 percent. And, for the first time since 2012, retention for male students (89.61 percent) exceeds that for females.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s significant, considering that a National Student Clearinghouse analysis shows an 8.9 percent decrease nationwide in male enrollment from spring 2021 to spring 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tarleton\u2019s retention for first-generation students is 87.71 percent, the highest in 10 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAt a time when other schools are scrambling to grow enrollment and retain students, particularly underrepresented students, we\u2019re setting records on both fronts,\u201d Dr. Hurley said. \u201cFrom the moment they arrive, our students know they are part of the Tarleton family, with faculty and staff ready to help them succeed.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
