Celebrating historic enrollment growth and the Mayville State difference

Another all-time Mayville State enrollment record has been set! Census day, when final official enrollment numbers are reported, was Monday, Feb. 9, and I’m thrilled to say that Spring Semester 2026 FTE (Full Time Equivalent) has increased by 3.07% over Spring 2025, and 10.76% over the Spring of 2024. Generally, FTE includes students who live on campus and in the community and support our restaurants, gas stations, and businesses. Official headcount for Spring 2026 is 1,112, just over a three percent increase over Spring 2025, and a nearly 17% increase over Spring 2024.
