Last fall, UND had its largest final enrollment of 14,194. Enrollment typically goes down in the spring semester due, among other things, to Winter Commencement.

Odegard School of Aerospace Sciences, 12.1 percent (1,330, up 144).
The Graduate School has also shown impressive growth, up 8.3 percent (196) to 2,547, compared to 2,351 last spring. Since 2000-01, the Graduate School has grown by 1,005 students, an important trend, said UND President Robert Kelley, given UND’s growing research enterprise. In FY10, UND recorded more than $143 million in sponsored programs and research.
