Spring 2023 enrollment at Western Carolina University is down 3.6% compared to the spring semester last year, according to this semester’s headcount. The university is attributing the 391-student decline to larger-than-normal numbers of December graduates and the pandemic’s ongoing impact on student and family finances.
MEANWHILE…
While spring 2023 has brought reduced enrollment among both men and women at WCU, officials said enrollment numbers show more women on campus compared to men, with less than half of WCU’s spring 2023 student body made up of men, the lowest percentage of any semester going back to 2007.
