Charleston Southern University welcomed 3,022 students to its campus this fall, setting a new enrollment record for the 41-year-old university.
Not only has enrollment exceeded the 3,000-student goal, the record-breaking numbers are years ahead of schedule.
“One of the university’s five-year strategic objectives included the goal of enrolling 3,000 students by 2007,” said Jairy Hunter, Charleston Southern’s president. “CSU’s growth is representative of our excellent faculty and efforts to integrate faith and learning into our curriculum.”
Debbie Williamson, vice president?of enrollment management, said, “More and more students are attracted to Charleston Southern University because we live what we believe. Not only do we offer a top-notch education, we’re holding fast to our foundation of faith.”
