By the numbers: Meet the Class of 2023
A look at the 1,284 students who make up IU Southeast’s Class of 2023.
IU Southeast welcomed 1,284 new undergraduate students to campus this fall.
Of those students, 317 were transfers from other universities – a 0.6 percent growth from 2018. This growth is due to a deliberate effort in creating transfer agreements like Crimson Advantage with Jefferson Community and Technical College in Louisville and continued efforts with Ivy Tech Community College in Indiana.
Also among new students were increases in African American students (17.8 percent) and Asian students (19.1 percent). Overall, 21.7 percent of new undergraduates are from diverse backgrounds. According to data from Claritas 360, this mirrors the minority population in the Louisville metropolitan service area.
Here's a breakdown of the class:
