Middle Georgia State University announced today they had reached the highest enrollment in history. According to a release, 8,828 students are enrolled for the fall 2025 semester, a 6.8% increase in new undergraduate enrollment highlighted by a 13% rise in transfer students.

It’s the fourth consecutive semester of record enrollment and the eighth straight semester of growth for MGA. The university also recorded its highest-ever overall and new graduate enrollment, while the percentage of students returning from semester to semester continues to climb.

Dr. Stephen Schultheis, MGA’s vice president for Enrollment Management, said the numbers reflect the University’s continued focus on student success and accessibility.

“Reaching another all-time high in enrollment speaks to the dedication of our faculty and staff,” Schultheis said. “Our team is committed to helping every student find a path to success. From expanding graduate programs to creating smoother transfer pathways, MGA is providing opportunities that are clearly resonating with students across Georgia.”

Middle Georgia State President Dr. Christopher Blake said the continued growth shows the success of the University’s long-term strategic enrollment plan.

“Our focus on affordability, accessibility, and strong academic programs has positioned Middle Georgia State as a university of choice, and that focus is paying off in the record enrollments we’ve seen in consecutive years," he said. "As we strive to be the public university for the region, our growth reflects the effectiveness of our intentional planning and collaboration across campuses and with our communities to serve the public by providing stronger credentials, enhanced professional opportunities, and an improved quality of life.

Middle Georgia State University has campuses in Cochran, Eastman, Dublin, Macon, and Warner Robins. For more information, visit mga.edu
