After Reorganization, Vermont State University Enrollment Rises

The newly created Vermont State University is reporting a 14 percent increase in enrollment this fall.

The Randolph-based VTSU said there are 1,700 new degree-seeking students in this fall’s class. That’s 200 more than the first-year class last year, with students from 35 states and 11 foreign countries. About 80 percent of the new class is from Vermont, administrators said in a press release on Thursday.
