Since The Southern University System has 13K we're going to place an asterisk by that....LOL
Well the Houston Chronicle says TSU's enrollment is down 22%. Without knowing y'alls enrollment last year, I'd say it's currently somewhere between 7500-8500

As if PV isn't a part of a largeR system. lol
PV is the largest SWAC school, until FAMU enters w/ their ~10K #.
Hadn't gone through the mag yet but that is great news. During a novel pandemic and to achieve those #s is a very good sign. Constant growth and attraction. It's a great place to be as we continue to ascend.
Enrollment in the College of Engineering is above 1500 and growing. That's going to be a major area of growth with recruiting and the new facility being built.

SU's final enrollment numbers for the fall semester did exceed 8000. I can't remember what the actual final numbers were (will post as soon as I can ascertain), and system enrollees exceeded 13,500. The earlier numbers that were reported were as of the 14th day of classes. But the last day of classes for the fall semester was today, November 24, and final enrollment numbers went up. Southern University System is the only black college higher education system in the United States, boasting five campuses, each headed by its own chancellor. This fact is not a reference by which to boast, but should be a point of pride for all of us who call ourselves BlackI am JUST glad enrollment's are up at some of our HBCUS. SU is back on track, just think a few years ago SU was at 5,000 we are almost pushing 8,000.
Hopefully our growth will continue to flourish in the positive direction and we hit that proverbial 10K+ number soonest.
Remarkable for us since our campus #s were historically smaller, as a smaller school. The larger urban universities always enjoyed the larger #s so their maintaining those #s are a given. PV is shooting for 15K and it is highly possible soonest if the moons and stars continue to align rightly to brighten our path.
It took me a while to realize that HBCUs in general are not "big" enrollment-wise. Ive read in multiple sources, that among HBCUs only Howard was larger than PV enrollment wise up until the 50s when TSU presented another option for Texas kids who wanted to go to a public HBCU. Woolfolk's book referenced HBCU enrollments in the 40s. Even in the 1930s , PV had a larger enrollment than what Valley, Alcorn, and UAPB has today. When I got to PV in 1996, enrollment was only 6,500. I'd consider that small compared to PWIs but that would still be in the top half in the SWAC today. A&T is the biggest HBCU but still almost 10k less than a Plan B school like Sam Houston.
But yeah, a rural school has challenges especially when it has to pull the surrounding city up as well. The city of Prairie View never pulled it's own weight. That's changing though. I think we would've been over 10k this semester if it werent for covid.
Is PV not considered an "urban university?" I have never visited PV's campus, but I thought it was a part of the metro Houston area.Hopefully our growth will continue to flourish in the positive direction and we hit that proverbial 10K+ number soonest.

So it looks like the top 5 largest SWAC schools are ....
1) FAMU
2) PVAMU
3) Texas Southern
4) Southern
5) Jackson State
