List of largest United States universities by enrollment
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This list of largest United States higher education institutions by enrollment includes only individual four-year campuses, not four-year universities. Universities can have multiple campuses with a single administration. Enrollment numbers listed are the sum of undergraduate and graduate students at a single campus as of the 21st day of the academic year. These numbers should match the enrollment numbers that are reported to the US Department of Education.
