CSU Stanislaus is becoming a hot commodity.
Applications for admission to the University from prospective first-time freshmen were up 13.4 percent this year, the largest percentage increase in the entire CSU system. The two-year increase was 22.8 percent, also the largest in the CSU. Fall 2015 freshmen applications totaled 6,973, up from last year’s 6,148.
Applications from students seeking to transfer to the University increased 5.7 percent from last year, the sixth-highest gain in the CSU.
“The University has significantly increased its outreach in the region in the past two years,” said Suzanne Espinoza, vice president for enrollment and student affairs. “More high school and transfer students are recognizing the value of a CSU Stanislaus education.”
Offers of admission for fall 2015 began in October and will continue into the new year.
