The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) announced Tuesday that it had set an enrollment record for fall 2019, which marks the fifth consecutive year of enrollment growth for the school.

According to an emailed statement, the university has climbed 36% in enrollment since 2014 with official semester numbers nearing 10,000.

“UAH is a destination of choice for ambitious students,” said UAH President Darren Dawson. “We have recruited another outstanding freshman class that is demonstrating their trust in UAH, where their education will deliver maximum value for the rest of their lives. When students enroll here, they find an outstanding and caring faculty, hands-on research activities, and exceptional experiential learning opportunities.”

As a result of successful student recruitment, in-state tuition was frozen throughout the UA system.

“For the first time in 40 years, the Board of Trustees has frozen in-state tuition throughout the System, and it has been a key part of our recruitment message,” Dawson stated. “I want to thank Chancellor Finis St. John and the Board of Trustees for working so effectively to keep our students and their families foremost in their decisions.”

In regards to its new freshmen class, the online statement from UAH noted:

– The entering class is the largest in UAH history.
– Overall GPA is 3.91.
– 48.7% scored 30 or above on the ACT.
