“Growth like this matters because of what it says about who we are.”

Manor College is proud to announce its highest overall enrollment headcount since 2021.

“Growth like this matters because of what it says about who we are – a place built for first-generation students, for students who want to be known by name, not just as a number,” said John Simila, Vice President of Enrollment at Manor College. “This is proof that our mission is reaching more students than ever.”

New student enrollment rose, led by a 47 percent surge in first-time, full-time students joining straight out of high school. That represents the highest number of first-time students since 2020.

“Our incoming class is lively and energized by our mission,” Dr. Peri said. “Our Admissions team is credited with making the effort to genuinely know our new students, facilitating the same for our faculty, who are graciously inclusive, and the rest speaks for itself.”

Whether they are a student fresh out of high school, a mother from Northeast Philadelphia or a soccer player from England, Simila stressed one simple message to every incoming Blue Jay.

“To every new student joining us this year – You Belong Here.”
