Statewide enrollment in community colleges and technical colleges up

The Louisiana Community and Technical College System has seen a 17.6 percent increase in enrollment this semester.

To give some perspective, in fall 2008 there were 59,480 students enrolled in the state's technical colleges. This semester it's 69,967 students. An additional 10,000 students.

We've written about BPCC's increase on the blog already. They experienced a 16.4 percent increase from this time last year. College Chancellor Jim Henderson has hinted that the college was outgrowing it's current facilities during an educational leaders roundtable. The campus was constructed in 2005.

The numbers are based on the 14th day enrollment count which means that these students are paying customers of the college.

Can't wait to see LSU-Shreveport's and Southern University-Shreveport's enrollment numbers.
