Auburn enrolls record freshmen class

BIRMINGHAM BUSINESS JOURNAL - BY Ben Piper STAFF

Auburn University has achieved its highest enrollment in history this fall, and its freshman class boasts the top ACT score of any previous class, an Auburn release said.

Enrollment is 25,078 among all student groups, which is up from 24,602 in fall 2009. Auburn has students from all 50 states and from 81 foreign countries.

New freshman enrollment consists of 4,204 students, up from 3,918 last year. The class compiled an average score of 26.9 on the ACT college entrance exam, outpacing last year’s then-record of 26.2.

The numbers reported Thursday are official enrollment numbers, calculated after the 15th class day of every fall semester.
