UCC enrollment soars; Highest percentage increase in the State of Oregon
Written by Press Release on November 19, 2024
ROSEBURG, Ore., — Umpqua Community College’s fall 2024 full-time enrollment is above last year’s values by over 25%. This percentage surpasses pre-pandemic enrollment levels from fall 2019 and has the highest percentage increase in the State of Oregon out of all community colleges.
The growth is attributed to several key factors, including an increase in student headcount in a variety of subject areas such as business, medical careers, sciences, and automotive. Additionally, there has been an increase in community members taking enrichment classes and workforce training.
“We are excited that our region trusts the college to give them the education they need to fill high-skill, high-wage jobs right here in Douglas County. We are working hard to innovate and provide the very best services to all members of our community,” said Dr. Rachel Pokrandt, president of UCC.
In the past year, UCC launched new degrees and certificates in the fields of advanced manufacturing, water quality, business, social work and allied health. For more information about UCC’s program offerings, please visit umpqua.edu.
