UNI saw the size of its incoming class of first-year students grow for the second straight year, as well as all-time high graduation rates for its most recent graduating class. This fall’s new freshman enrollment increased by 5% over last year to 1,554 students and increased by 6% over the fall 2019 freshman class. Graduation rates for UNI students are also at record levels and are uniquely strong — nearly 20 percentage points higher than those of similar universities.
