Arizona residents increased to 17,046, nearly 5 percent, over last spring, and the out-of-state student population grew nearly 11 percent to 4,367.

“Students continue to find Northern Arizona University to be a place where you can get a high-quality education at an affordable price,” said NAU President John Haeger. “The faculty and staff work diligently to make sure all students have a positive, productive experience.”
