Defying recent national higher education trends, Marymount University has recorded significant increases from last year in both applications and enrollment deposits for the 2022-23 academic year, university officials said.<\/p>\n

Leading up to the fall 2022 semester, a total of 3,551 applications were submitted from prospective students, a 44 percent jump compared to applications that the university received prior to the 2021-22 academic year.<\/p>\n

The 2022 figure represents both the largest total number of applications that Marymount has received, as well as the highest year-to-year growth percentage in applications received over the last 16 years of recorded admissions data available.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s total of 398 deposits from new Saints is a 20 percent increase from last year\u2019s total of 331, which stands as the highest year-to-year growth percentage in deposits over the last 16 years. The total deposit number for fall 2022 is also the highest that Marymount has recorded since fall 2018.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt a time when colleges and universities nationally are still striving to fill their classrooms and recover from the impacts of COVID, this remarkable growth at Marymount is a testament to how our comprehensive and career-focused academic programs are incredibly valuable and highly sought after by the next generation,\u201d said Marymount president Irma Becerra.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen the pandemic struck, it would have been understandable for an institution to solely focus on just staying afloat \u2013 but we decided to not only survive but thrive, and we\u2019re seeing the results of our joint efforts coming into focus,\u201d Becerra said.<\/p>\n

University administrators cited a variety of measures taken over the past year to explain the growth, including an increase in outreach, streamlining the application process and promoting Marymount\u2019s selection as Virginia\u2019s first and thus far only Hispanic-Serving Institution.<\/p>\n

Marymount also credited the launch of new wrestling programs (men\u2019s in 2022 and women\u2019s in 2023) and the addition of numerous new academic programs.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese latest application and enrollment statistics are numbers we should be proud of, and it\u2019s all thanks to our dedicated faculty, staff and administrators who have helped make this possible,\u201d said William Bisset, vice president of enrollment management and student affairs at the university.<\/p>\n
