Total enrollment at the four ministerial education schools for the 2019-20 school year is 1,452, down slightly from 1,487 last year. Two of the schools saw small increases from last year; the other two schools experienced slightly lower enrollments.
Here are the unofficial opening enrollments at each school:
- Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary, Mequon, Wis.: 120 (112 last year) Does this include the alternate school in Asia?
- Martin Luther College, New Ulm, Minn.: 734 (764)
- Luther Preparatory School, Watertown, Wis.: 402 (419)
- Michigan Lutheran Seminary, Saginaw, Mich.: 196 (192)
