Le Moyne Receives Record Number of Applications for Admission

Following several years of steady growth, a record 8,000-plus applications for first-year enrollment have been received by Le Moyne College’s Office of Admission as it recruits the class of 2029. The previous record was set in 2024, when approximately 7,900 applications were received.

“Passing the 8,000 application mark is a clear indication that interest in attending Le Moyne has never been higher,” said Tim Lee, vice president for enrollment management. “Students and their parents appreciate our strong reputation for academic excellence, the significant investment in our facilities and the success of our students and alumni.”

“As a Jesuit institution, Le Moyne prides itself on cura personalis, or care for the whole person, with students receiving individual attention from faculty who are among the best in their discipline,” said Le Moyne President Linda LeMura. “The high level of interest this year and over the past several years are evidence that Le Moyne is an institution on the rise.”
