NWACC sees record concurrent enrollment

• The community college has a total of 9,155 students, including those in non-degree-seeking training programs.

The intrigue: Concurrent enrollment — high school students who take NWACC courses through their high schools — is at a record high of 2,540 concurrent students.

What they're saying: The numbers show "how NWACC is taking the lead in providing high school students with college-level courses, so they can get a head start on their higher education while saving on tuition costs," said Justin White, vice president of student affairs, in the news release.
