Crown College is proud to announce the highest total enrollment in its 108-year history. Over 1,800 students have enrolled this fall, with opportunities still available for students to join online and graduate courses in October. This remarkable growth highlights Crown’s commitment to its vision as the Midwest’s Boldly Christian College and its investment in 12 new and renovated campus projects and a new residence hall, a nearly $20 million investment in the campus in just three years.  

President Andrew Denton commented on the growth and success, “This historic enrollment milestone reflects Crown College’s commitment to providing exceptional academically excellent programs and an on-campus vibrant spiritual formation and chapel experience that resonates with students and families across Minnesota and beyond. Our growth over the past few years is a testament to the Lord’s favor. We give Him all the glory, honor, and praise.” 

This extraordinary incoming class for Crown comprises the largest-ever class of PSEO (Postsecondary Enrollment Option) students, with nearly 700 high school students taking courses at and through Crown and on-campus enrollment nearing 600 students, up more than 20% over the last few years. Crown also has recently received accreditation through the Association of Theological Schools (ATS), giving them immediate added credibility for graduate theological and seminary education.  

Along with the integration of faith into every aspect of the community, Crown has also been recognized as one of 2024’s Top Ranked Nursing Schools (RegisteredNursing.org, RNCareers.org, and OnlineMastersColleges.com ), Top Ranked Online Professional Counseling Programs (Best Colleges), and Top Ranked Best Online Colleges (online.com). Crown brings together students with various talents, skills, and interests, creating a unique community, even within Christian Higher Education. The on-campus school has a small-town feel, where professors and staff know who you are, support athletic events, and engage in student callings while providing an excellent education with global impact. This transformative experience continues to connect with students and families looking for a college that embodies the core of who Crown is and aspires to be. 

“We are thrilled to see such a remarkable response from students and families drawn to Crown College’s unique mission of providing a Boldly Christian education,” said Vice President of Enrollment and Marketing Dr. Dee McDonald. “This record-breaking enrollment reflects our education’s value and commitment to fostering a community that impacts the world for Christ”. We are excited to continue this momentum as we welcome more students to Crown in the coming months and years.”
