Georgian Court University today announced its second consecutive year of undergraduate enrollment growth as the 2024-2025 academic year begins. Total undergraduate enrollment for Fall 2024 increased to 1,491, up from 1,478 in Fall 2023 and 1,471 in Fall 2022, reflecting a positive trend and a growing demand for the university’s programs.
“This continued growth speaks to the strong appeal of Georgian Court’s mission and values,” said Erika Davis, Ed.D., Vice President for Enrollment Management at Georgian Court. “Our students are drawn to the holistic, affordable education we offer, and it’s exciting to welcome more students into our community each year.”
One of the driving factors behind this growth is a significant rise in out-of-state students, with full-time undergraduate enrollment from outside New Jersey increasing by more than 57% from 2023 to 2024. Georgian Court’s location—just 10 minutes from the Jersey Shore and about an hour from both Philadelphia and New York City—has proven attractive, alongside the university’s reputation for value and student support as recognized by The New York Times, Money magazine, and others.
Graduate enrollment saw a slight decrease this year, consistent with national trends. Interest in Georgian Court’s newer graduate programs, however—such as the Psy.D. in School Psychology, Master of Social Work (MSW), and M.A. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling—continues to rise. With growing applications for these programs, the university is well-positioned for future growth in its graduate offerings.
Adding to the university’s growing reputation, Georgian Court climbed 16 spots in the U.S. News & World Report rankings, released in late September, now ranking 95th among Best Regional Universities North. It also improved in the Top Performers on Social Mobility category, moving to 90th. These recognitions underscore the university’s focus on academic excellence and its ongoing efforts to support first-generation and underserved students. As Georgian Court continues to expand its reach, the 2024-2025 academic year promises to build on the university’s tradition of fostering academic, personal, and social growth for all students.
