College sees big jump in enrollment; U of L reaches record
LETHBRIDGE – A surge in international students has helped drive enrollment at Lethbridge College higher this year, while the University of Lethbridge ticked higher as well to record enrollment.
The college said 5,154 students are enrolled in certificate, diploma, degree, apprenticeship, and upgrading programs as of Sept. 19. That’s a six per cent increase from fall 2017 when there were 4,859. In addition, there are more than 1,100 corporate and continuing education students.
Those numbers include 471 international students, up from 231 last year.
The college’s manager of international services said there are many factors, including the anti-immigration sentiments of other countries.
