Winona State University recorded enrollment growth of 5.9% this year, according to reporting from the Post Bulletin cited by Headlines Plus.
The increase runs against the direction seen at many campuses in Minnesota, where headcounts have been shrinking.
The reporting credits the university's recruiting work and its appeal to prospective students for the gain.
Growth of that size can help a campus steady its budget and support the programs it offers students.
Winona State's result stands out in a year when many Minnesota schools have faced the opposite trend.
