Enrollment Increase

I'm thrilled to announce that College enrollment increased 11 percent from last fall. Chester Center enrollment increased 20 percent thanks to the additional space at the temporary facility. The top three program areas are:

College Transfer: 1,075
General Technology*: 767
Career Development**: 720
Total: 2,562 (61% of total credit enrollment in these three areas)
*General technology includes students in health science holding programs.
**Career development includes dual enrollment high school students.

Programs with significant growth over the past year include:

Dual Enrollment: 39%
Welding: 36%
General Business: 36%
Engineering Graphics Technology: 29%
Computer Technology: 27%
Early Care and Education: 20%
Office Systems Technology: 20%

According to preliminary data from the South Carolina Technical College System Office, York Tech had the second highest enrollment increase among the SC technical colleges. We can not attribute this huge accomplishment to just one person or one group but rather true total teamwork is responsible for this fantastic achievement!
I encourage you to keep up the great work!
