Enrollment at the University of Central Florida for Fall 2018 has increased to 67,000 undergraduate and graduate students, from 66,000 last Fall.

UCF claims that this year, the 50th anniversary of classes, will have the most accomplished freshman class to date:

  • An average GPA of 4.08, a UCF record.
  • An average SAT score of 1322, a UCF record.
  • 82 new National Merit Scholars, bringing the total enrolled at UCF to 316, the largest number of scholars in the university’s history.
  • The number of minority students is approaching 50 percent.
  • The number of graduate students, including the College of Medicine, is anticipated to be about 9,750, about 6 percent higher than last year.
  • The number of students taking fully online programs increased 50 percent, with more than 4,300 enrolled in UCF Online for the fall semester.

All of the above data is preliminary. Final enrollment information will be available in the weeks ahead.

“In our short history, UCF proves that bigger is better by providing more opportunities for students to achieve their dream of a high-quality college degree – which impacts their lives and their family for generations,” said President Dale Whittaker.

“As we celebrate the 50th anniversary of classes this fall, I could not be prouder of our talented, diverse student body and every one of our faculty and staff members who support their success.”
