Linfield continues to find interest in its master’s degree programs.
Enrollment in the graduate-level nursing, business, education and sports science programs grew to 69 students this fall, up from fall 2023. Each program saw an increase in enrollment.
Additionally, the Online and Continuing Education (OCE) program saw an increase to 92 undergraduate and 13 graduate students this fall. That’s up 20 students from last year.
Linfield’s overall population decreased slightly to 1,709 students. However, the cohort of new students on the McMinnville campus is larger than in recent years. There were 426 new students, up from 391 last year.
Linfield has also seen an increase in the diversity of the student body. Some key demographic information on Linfield’s undergraduate student population:
- 41% are first-generation students
- 23% are Hispanic/Latine/Latinx
- 40% are U.S. students of color
- 35% are Pell Grant eligible
“The number of Pell-eligible students demonstrates that Linfield continues to be an engine of economic mobility for families,” said Gerardo Ochoa, vice president of enrollment management and student success.
