While most University of Alaska campuses are currently seeing a decline in enrollment, the Kenai Peninsula College Kenai River campus is well above last year’s enrollment.
Suzie Kendrick with KPC…
Kendrick: “As of the 9th of October across the KPC system, compared to this time last year we are fully 5% above where we were in terms of head counts.”
She credits the college’s new residence dorms which have seen an increase in residents this year.
Kendrick: “I think it goes right back to the individual attention, the feeling of community. We like to say that we give a private college experience and a public university cost.”
Kendrick said the Kenai River Campus is transitioning from a commuter campus to a “genuine college experience”.
