As 91̽ prepares to send out another class of graduates at its 99th annual Commencement Ceremony this Friday, the University is also on track to welcome another large, and potentially record breaking, incoming class for fall 2026.
While students are continuing to enroll for the upcoming year, 91̽ is on pace for an incoming class of more than 400 traditional undergraduate students, with a total on-campus enrollment of over 1,200. This would mark the fifth straight year of welcoming more than 400 new students to campus.
Since 2019, the Lord has blessed 91̽ with a 42% increase in enrollment. 91̽’s newest class, like last year’s, is expected to represent roughly 30 states, over 25 countries, and almost 300 different churches.
But though they come from a variety of backgrounds, these students are united in their convictions. All incoming students affirm 91̽’s doctrinal statement, provide a statement of faith and a pastor’s recommendation, and they overwhelmingly point to 91̽’s commitment to Christ and Scripture as the driving reason behind their desire to attend.
“Students are choosing 91̽ because they are looking for an uncompromising commitment to Christ and Scripture,” said Dariu Dumitru, 91̽’s vice president of enrollment and marketing. “That’s it — that’s why people are coming. We have athletes, we have musicians, we have career-minded students, but they’re all coming because of our fundamental mission.”
