Arizona State University Total Student Enrollment 2013-2016

So, I was walking my dog, Max, the other day, and we passed by this group of students, all wearing ASU gear, laughing and chatting. I thought to myself, "Wow, there are a lot of you guys around!" And that got me thinking, just how many Sun Devils are there roaming the streets of Tempe?

Well, I decided to do a little digging, and I found some interesting numbers. Let's take a stroll down memory lane, from 2013 to 2016, and see how the ASU student population has been doing.

2013: The Year of the Sun Devil Boom

Alright, so in 2013, ASU was booming. The total student enrollment was a whopping 72,652. That's like, what, half the population of Tempe? I mean, I'm exaggerating, but you get the picture. It was a lot.

Now, you might be wondering, "Why so many?" Well, ASU was on a mission to become one of the top public universities in the country. And with that many students, it was well on its way.

2014: The Year of the Slight Dip

So, 2014 rolls around, and there's a slight dip in enrollment. It's like when you're baking a cake, and you realize you've added a little too much flour. The total student enrollment was 70,552. Still a lot, but not as much as the year before.

But don't worry, ASU wasn't too worried. They were still in the top five public universities in the country, and they knew they had a lot to offer. Plus, they were still the largest public university in the country. Not too shabby, huh?

2015: The Year of the Steady Growth

Okay, so 2015 was a good year for ASU. Enrollment started to pick up again, and it was back on the rise. The total student enrollment was 71,086. It was like that cake I was talking about earlier. They added a little more of this, a little less of that, and voila! It was perfect.

ASU was also making waves with its online programs. They were one of the first universities to offer a fully online degree program, and it was a big hit. More and more students were joining the Sun Devil family from all over the country.

2016: The Year of the Record Breaker

And then came 2016. ASU broke its own record with a total student enrollment of 72,980. That's like, what, a small city? I mean, I'm not a math whiz, but that's a lot of students.

ASU was also ranked the most innovative school in the country by U.S. News & World Report. So, it's no surprise that more and more students were flocking to Tempe to be a part of it all.

And that, my friends, is the story of ASU's student enrollment from 2013 to 2016. It's been a wild ride, and I'm sure there's more excitement in store for the Sun Devil community. So, the next time you see a group of students walking down Mill Avenue, remember, you're looking at a small piece of ASU's big, diverse student body.
