SUNY Old Westbury’s enrollment numbers continue to climb

More and more students are continuing to choose SUNY Old Westbury. With more than 5,000 students registered for classes this fall – the first time enrollment  has surpassed 5,000 and the largest student body in its history – the College completes a decade in which it achieved enrollment growth of approximately 45 percent.
The College’s fall 2018 enrollment of 5,077 students is more than three percent above the 4,911 student body of fall 2017.  The growth in enrollment this fall follows a trend that has developed over the past 10 years. In fall 2008, the College’s enrollment was 3,505.

“The future is bright for our students and our college,” said College President Calvin O. Butts, III. “Our formula is simple: when our students succeed, we succeed. Our growth is a by-product of the efforts to continually enhance our offerings and services, to raise our profile across Long Island and the metropolitan area, and to ensure more and more students complete their degrees.”

Included in the 2018-19 student body is the largest freshman class in College history with 751 students, the third consecutive year that record has been broken.  SUNY Old Westbury this fall also welcomed the first students in its new graduate degree programs in Forensic Accounting and Childhood Special Education.

“We are proud that students and families are recognizing that SUNY Old Westbury offers the best of both worlds – a small college environment with academic programs that challenge the mind and prepare students to own their futures,” said Butts.
