CSU fall enrollment rises slightly by 4,000 students
Los Angeles Times
|August 31, 2025
California State University’s fall 2025 headcount ticked up 4,000 students compared with this time last year, thanks to instate student increases that outpaced a smaller drop in out-of-state and international enrollment, preliminary data released by the system show.
That growth amounts to less than a percentage-point increase at CSU, bringing the total across the 22-campus system to about 465,000 students.
The preliminary figures are welcome news after a significant enrollment downturn following the COVID-19 pandemic.
But concerns remain that the Trump administration's immigration policies may stifle international enrollment or discourage undocumented or mixed-status students from applying for financial aid and going to college.
