Our headcount enrollment this semester totals 9,254, compared to 8,923 for the same time last year.

Gains were seen in Agriculture, Biology, Accounting and Secondary Education. Losses were noted in Craft Certificates, Basic Business and Pre-Med.
Spring enrollment tends to be lower than fall but seems to be a good indicator for strong fall numbers as well.
