Marywood Welcomes Largest Domestic Undergraduate Incoming Class in University History

Marywood University welcomed its largest undergraduate incoming class in University history this fall, with 655 full-time first-year and transfer students joining the Marywood community. The incoming class includes 518 first-year students and 137 transfer students. Together, they represent the largest domestic undergraduate incoming class of first-year and transfer students in Marywood’s history.

The new students represent 22 states, with approximately 65 percent living on campus in Marywood’s residence halls. The class brings a strong range of academic and extracurricular accomplishments to campus, with an average high school GPA of 3.55.

“Welcoming Marywood’s largest incoming undergraduate class is a remarkable achievement and reflects an enormous amount of dedication from the Admissions team and collaboration with the entire Marywood community,” said Lisa A. Lori, J.D., President of Marywood University.

Rachel Hartz, Vice President for Enrollment Management, also recognized the University community for its support of the division. “Your collaboration has made our success possible,” Hartz said. “We look forward to collaborating with you this year to continue our positive momentum.”

In addition to the new undergraduate students, Marywood is welcoming 167 new graduate students this fall, keeping its incoming graduate enrollment levels steady and strong since fall 2024.

The historic undergraduate incoming class marks an important milestone as Marywood begins the 2026-2027 academic year. The University welcomes these students and the many contributions they will make to the Marywood community.
