BISMARCK, ND ( KXNET ) — With a record-breaking number of applications for the second year in a row, the University of Mary finds itself having to implement a waiting list for those seeking to attend the institution.

“As a result of the high demand for a degree from the University of Mary, we are implementing a waiting list to ensure that we maintain the highest standards of education and support that defines our university,” says Rachael Brash, the Vice President for Public Affairs and Enrollment Management. “We continue to experience a truly overwhelming response from prospective students and are once again reaching capacity in several of our programs for the upcoming fall semester — which is exciting news for our university and our Bismarck-Mandan community. We have only so much space in our classrooms and residence halls.”

The university reported its largest ever overall enrollment last year, along with a record-breaking freshman class. With just under two months before the start of the fall semester and a new academic year, all indications point to an even larger freshman class for fall 2024.

Classes for the fall semester begin September 3. Welcome Week for all freshmen begins Saturday, August 31.
