KCTCS enrollment surge sweeps past university undergraduates

The fall 2009 headcount for the Kentucky Community and Technical College System was 10 percent higher than 2008 and 69 percent higher than 2000. 

In fact, KCTCS now serves more learners than the combined bachelor's programs of all eight public universities.  That's a pretty good benchmark of the large role the system now plays in Kentucky higher education.

The numbers below come from the "Fall Enrollment Report" presented at the February 11 meeting of the Council on Postsecondary Education.
