With record enrollment for the 2018-2019 academic year, Maryville University continues to show strong growth and strategic planning success. Overall, Maryville’s student population has reached 9,200, an increase of nearly 20 percent over last year.

“Maryville leads the revolution in higher education, and students across the country are taking notice,” said President Mark Lombardi, PhD. “When we talk about personalized learning, our approach is far more comprehensive than other institutions. At Maryville, student-centered learning means we provide wide-ranging support from life coaches, diagnostic tools to help students achieve by leveraging their own best learning styles and the right technology, faculty expertise and experiential learning opportunities to prepare our students for the workforce of the future.”

More than 700 first-year students enrolled in classes this fall, represent ing a 9 percent growth over last year’s freshman class.

In January, Maryville University launched a successful national TV campaign to announce expanded online programs for undergraduate and graduate students. Online enrollment accounts for about 5,000 students in the new academic year.

With construction of the second phase of Saints Hall recently completed—one of three campus residential hall facilities—along with five apartment buildings, residency reached 95 percent capacity as the number of students living on campus exceeded 990 this fall.
