Transylvania began classes this fall with a total enrollment of 1,092 students and 297 new students, including 283 first-year students and 14 transfers.
The entering class, comprised of students from 12 states, includes 43 Kentucky Governor’s Scholars and Governor’s School for the Arts participants, and nine National Merit Finalists. There are also four international students in the class, three from Germany and one from Canada.
“While this is a slightly smaller class than we anticipated, we are certainly pleased with many of the characteristics of the group,” said Brad Goan, director of admissions. “Academic quality is strong, we enrolled the largest number of international students in many years, and this is the most racially diverse class, by percentage, in Transy’s history. While we have seen this trend for several years, it is striking how committed these students are to community service, and we are excited to see how that translates to the Transylvania community.”
