Bluffton University's spring enrollment figures are now official. This spring, 1,086 students are enrolled compared to 1,055 last year. The spring semester enrollment is the best in several years and is due in part to 35 new traditional students starting this spring. In addition, graduate student enrollment sets a new record with 130 students.

"Bluffton is very gratified to experience such a strong spring semester enrollment during this challenging economic time," said Dr. Eric Fulcomer, vice president for enrollment management and student life.

"Bluffton University has regularly been recognized by Barron's as a best buy in college education and this enrollment report reminds us that students and their families are finding Bluffton a good place to invest their education dollars," he said.
