University of Nebraska at Omaha reports the largest student body in nearly 30 years and the highest year-over-year overall retention rate in university history.
"This landmark enrollment report reflects not only our unwavering commitment to prepare Nebraskans for a future of success and fulfillment, but the enduring power of the Maverick Spirit,” Chancellor Jeffrey Gold said.
“With top-tier academic and support programming, the thousands of new and returning Mavericks in this university community will be well-equipped to meet the workforce needs of the global communities that we serve."
The numbers from UNO’s Office for Institutional Effectiveness show the 15,892 total number of students on the Omaha campus is the highest since 1992, with an incoming freshman class of 2,220 and 1,381 new transfer students.
The administration says it's the largest Freshmen class in a decade.
UNO’s retention rate of 76.9% from the Fall 2019 semester to Fall 2020 is the highest in university history.
The graduate enrollment: 3,124 students, the largest in school history.
