St. Thomas University is proud to announce a seventh consecutive year of record-breaking new student enrollment! Not only are we welcoming our largest freshman class in school history, but we are also seeing unprecedented growth across transfer, graduate/online, and law students.

Our incoming cohort of 2,963 Bobcats is 20% larger than last year’s historic class:

  • 868 freshmen (+6%)
  • 249 transfers (+26%)
  • 1,403 graduate/online students (+22%)
  • 443 law students (+12%)

This group of new students hail from 41 U.S. states and 78 countries, and is composed of over 600 student-athletes and nearly 200 international students. To top it all off, we welcomed the most Honors College students ever and enrolled even more Florida Bright Futures students with the help of our new STU Bright Futures scholarship!

Vice President for Enrollment Dionne N. Veitch attributed this increase to several factors. “This success is a result of campus-wide collaboration led by our Admissions team. Our faculty, coaches, and staff are involved throughout the entire recruitment process.”

According to President David A. Armstrong, J.D., “This year, our incoming class is also making history as the first to fill our brand-new 545-bed residence hall (South Hall), which is already at capacity. Every day, STU moves closer to becoming the Great Catholic University of the South. We are proud to provide our students with a transformative education to become ethical leaders in the global community.”

STU is where students come to pursue excellence and become giants in their field of study, and in life. Dream big. Achieve more. Be GIANT.
