Enrollment Update – Spring 2014
The trend of enrollment at Northwestern Michigan College in the past five fall and spring semesters mirrors the unemployment rate. When unemployment increases, enrollment at community colleges increases (including NMC) as students seek education to enhance their current skills or pursue different careers. Student enrollment began increasing related to unemployment in SP2009 and then peaked at the height of the recession in 2010-2011. During this time NMC experienced the highest enrollment in our history, with 5,440 students in FA2010 and 5,194 students in SP2011. Since that time enrollment is returning to levels prior to the recession. Current student enrollment is similar to the enrollment during 2007-2008.
