I heard an interesting stat on the radio today. You guys probably all knew it, but it surprised me.
What US University has the LARGEST enrollment?
Hint: UCF is #2, with just over 64,000.
Texas has been self-limiting enrollment at ~ 50,000 since they 1970's. Not sure why?

Hero is onto something. The University of Phoenix enrollment is approaching 400,000. It is part university and part scam. There is a traditional brick and mortar multi-campus university that is considerably larger than the University of Phoenix.
You are obviously referring to traditional brick and mortar, primarily single campus colleges and universities. I know the answer, and its enrollment has grown beyond your number. So has UCF’s. There is yet another “small school” in Florida with a larger enrollment than the “big schools”, University of Florida, USF and Miami.

yes, I'm not talking about on-line applicants. Only, brick and mortar campuses.
The one I heard as the largest on the radio, which seems to be backed up by the quick research I did is: Arizona State University.
They claim ~ 72,000 students, which is the largest I have seen reported.
UCF is shown at #2, A&M #3, Ohio State #4, and FLorida International at $5.

I'm guessing that's on one campus and not the entire ASU system - heck, I'm not even sure if there is a system of Arizona State campuses. I know places like University of California, SUNY, Texas and Ohio state have numerous branches across the states which, if you add all the students in the system they probably top 72k but having that many on one campus is huge. The probably have a lot of communters as is the case with UCF and FIU. |

(San Antonio, Dallas, Houston, even Galveston.... there's bunches) The stats for ASU show a couple of different campuses, but all are in Tempe. So, I guess they count. |

It's a "system"... not really the same thing. But, still... very impressive. and, NO football program? |

You rated the sizes the correct and traditional way.
The online, hybrid and multi-campus schools are different animals. There is even a community college in Indiana with over 200,000 students. Jerry Falwell’s Liberty University has grown to over 100,000 students, counting its online courses.

The old model is broken and far too expensive for most people. Technology, including AI, could truly revolutionize they ways we teach and train people. |
