The enrollment includes 3,434 freshmen from Alabama. This 7.9% increase in in-state first-year students is the university’s sixth consecutive year with an in-state increase. Second-year retention also reached an all-time high at nearly 90%.

“Students continue to be drawn to the University of Alabama and the world-class opportunities and support afforded here,” said Dr. Stuart R.
