City, N.D. – Valley City State University set an all-time record for final Fall semester enrollment by achieving a headcount of 1,384 students, surpassing last year’s headcount of 1,285 and the previous record of 1,369 set over 40 years ago.

VCSU president Dr. Steve Shirley said, faculty, staff, students, alumni and supporters should take great pride in this tremendous accomplishment. Enrollment at VCSU has grown by 40 percent over the past four years.

Earlier this month VCSU was named the #1 public regional college in the 12-state Midwest region by U.S.News. This is the 14th year in a row VCSU has been recognized by U.S.News, and the first year that VCSU has been recognized with a #1 ranking in its category.

The campus is preparing to begin construction on the $10.3 million expansion and renovation of the Rhoades Science Center.
