The spring semester enrollment is the best in several years and is due in part to 35 new traditional students starting this spring. In addition, graduate student enrollment sets a new record with 130 students.
"Bluffton is very gratified to experience such a strong spring semester enrollment during this challenging economic time," said Dr. Eric Fulcomer, vice president for enrollment management and student life.
