AUSTIN The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB) released preliminary numbers Wednesday showing more than 1.6 million students enrolled this fall at Texas colleges and universities \u2014 an all-time high.<\/p>\n
The preliminary fall numbers cover undergraduate, graduate, and professional program students enrolled at two-year technical, state, and community colleges; four-year public and independent universities; and public and private health-related institutions.<\/p>\n
Fall enrollment in all regions of the state increased over last year, with the Northwest and Upper East regions seeing increases of more than 9%. And for the first time since the pandemic, enrollment totals surpassed pre-pandemic numbers in each sector of higher education.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe record enrollment numbers will help the state\u2019s continuing efforts to build a talent-strong Texas and an increasingly educated workforce,\u201d Commissioner of Higher Education Wynn Rosser said in a news release. \u201cThe collaborative work of state leaders, the THECB, and higher education institutions are geared towards helping our students advance in the rapidly growing Texas economy.\u201d<\/p>\n
