Of Nicholls’ 5,525 students, 4,982 are undergraduates and 543 are graduate students.
Renee Hicks, assistant vice president of Institutional Effectiveness, Access and Success said, “Nicholls remains focused on recruiting committed, hard-working students and giving them all the tools they need to be highly successful. From our outstanding academic programs to our extensive support services, students are supported while achieving their life and career goals.”
