The University now enrolls 1,600 students in traditional programs and 3,500 in Global Campus offerings, including online and talent development programs. New Marlins represent 30 countries and every region of the United States, with 65 percent coming from the Commonwealth of Virginia. The University’s Batten Honors College remains a premier program, attracting 10 applications for every available cohort spot.
This historic enrollment underscores the strength and reputation of our University at a pivotal moment in its history. As we prepare to become Batten University in July 2026, these numbers reflect confidence in our future and excitement about what’s ahead.
Several initiatives continue to propel VWU’s growth, including new state-of-the-art facilities, innovative academic programs, and expanded community partnerships. This fall, the University launches VWU-Chesapeake—a Prison Education Program serving inmates at St. Brides and Indian Creek Correctional Centers. In early 2026, the Virginia Museum of Contemporary Art relocates to a new facility on the VWU campus, and pending accreditation approval, the Sentara College of Health Sciences will integrate into the University later that spring.
Sincerely,
