CVTC Shows Summer Enrollment Increase
Coosa Valley Technical College’s enrollment for summer quarter 2005 grew by 8.2 percent over enrollment for the summer of 2004, according to information released by the College’s Seven Day Census Data Report. The school, with campuses in Rome, Calhoun, and Rockmart has 2,119 students enrolled this quarter compared to 1,958 students in 2004.
“Summer quarter enrollment increases are usually an indicator that fall quarter numbers will also increase,” according to college president Craig McDaniel. “We typically see about a 40 percent increase in credit enrollment from summer to fall and we anticipate that to hold true this year.”
Coosa Valley Technical College served 10,871 people through its credit and non-credit program offerings during the 2004 fiscal year and expects to exceed this number when all data for 2005 is finalized.
McDaniel credits the college’s growth to the strong support it receives from all sectors of the communities it serves. “Businesses and industries, elected officials, high school teachers and administrators, and our local board of directors have all played a part in helping us build the school we have today,” he said. “Eighty percent of all jobs require less than a four year degree but do require education beyond high school, and our technical colleges are meeting that demand,” he concluded.
