  • Undergraduates: around 5,490–5,622 students.
  • Graduate & professional: roughly 3,832–4,117 students across law, business, medicine, divinity, and grad programs.
  • Student–faculty ratio: about 9:1 , which is relatively low and suggests smaller class sizes.

Why the numbers vary

Different official and third‑party sources quote slightly different totals because they:

  1. Refer to different academic years (for example, 2023–24 vs. 2024–25).
  1. Count certain professional and part‑time programs differently.
