About this listen

Illinois public universities have reached their highest enrollment levels in 10 years, according to the Illinois Board of Higher Education [IBHE] that reports nearly 190,000 students are enrolled across the state for the Fall 2025 semester. Illinois State University’s student body increased by 2.1%, an enrollment record for a fourth consecutive year. ISU announced the figures in September, including a 448-student increase, for a total of 21,994 students. Deputy Governor for Education Martin Torres said Gov. JB Pritzker’s state budgets have delivered the largest investment in higher education in a generation.
