Record enrollment this fall at state colleges, universities

University System of Georgia (USG) enrollment climbed this fall to an all-time record of 364,725 students. The 5.9% increase over enrollment in Fall 2023 is the second consecutive year of growth for the system and outpaces a 2.9% increase observed nationally.

Enrollment grew at all 26 of USG’s public colleges and universities, according to USG’s Fall 2024 Semester Enrollment Report, with the total number of students at USG institutions across Georgia rising by 20,333 over the previous year. Most of that increase (13,360 students) came from in-state students, with a 4.9% rise seen in the number of Georgians seeking a USG degree.
