Facts and Statistics

Welcome to our classroom demographics overview. Students enrolled in business courses range from those seeking a business degree, to students earning their business minor, to students who've chosen to further their degree in another field with a business elective.

The richness of our student body is something we seek to support with class offerings that Lumberjacks can apply to their future careers, regardless of major.
