How Does Colorado Mesa’s Enrollment Compare to Other Schools in the RMAC in the RMAC

Anyone who has ever attended a Colorado Mesa University sporting event whether it be basketball, football, baseball - or any other sport - may have wondered how CMU's student enrollment compares to other Division II schools in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference.

On the one hand, CMU doesn't seem that large, but, on the other hand, the university has seen steady growth in student enrollment, and is actually one of the larger schools in the RMAC.

The short answer is Colorado Mesa ranks third in student enrollment based on numbers provided by US News and World Report's college rankings - and when not available there, on university websites. The figures are based upon traditional,  undergraduate enrollments.
