(WTAQ-WLUK) — Enrollment numbers at two Northeast Wisconsin colleges is showing growth.
Preliminary fall 2025 enrollment estimates have increased year-over-year at UW Green Bay and UW Oshkosh.
In Green Bay, 11,500 students are enrolled for the fall semester, a 3% growth from last fall.
That means a minimum of 312 more students chose to pursue their educational goals as Phoenix this year compared to a year ago. Additionally, UW-Green Bay served more than 100,000 students through its Continuing Education and Workforce Training programs in the last year, with additional growth predicted for the current year.
UW Green Bay is the fastest growing university in the state, with 28% enrollment growth in the last five years.
And in Oshkosh, nearly 12,500 students have enrolled as Titans.
And while the new freshman class is projected to have a decline from fall 2024 to fall 2025 due to the discontinuation of teaching and learning at UWO Fox Cities in June, new first-year student estimates specifically for the Oshkosh-campus, year-over-year, indicate a 2.2% increase.
The deeper dive into UW-Oshkosh enrollment reveals resilience and encouraging momentum in student populations that align with institutional strengths and growth strategies, Chancellor Singh said.
A breakdown of UW-Oshkosh data shows:
- Honors College enrollment – up 2% after a record year of growth in 2024-25.
- Transfer student enrollment – up 4%
- New graduate student enrollment – up 17%
- First-year student retention – up 4%
- The first-year class on the Oshkosh campus – up 2%
UW-Green Bay and UW-Oshkosh will provide final enrollment reports to the Universities of Wisconsin later this fall.
