\"\"<\/a>Nash Community College has continued to make strides to return to pre-COVID-19 numbers. NCC is excited to announce a significant growth of an 11.5 percent increase in headcount and a 10.5 percent increase in FTE (Full-Time Equivalent) student enrollment for the Fall 2024 semester compared to Fall 2023!<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have five core values, and the first one is \u201cstudent success.\u201d The entire team has worked tirelessly from marketing to student services through to our academic affairs team to provide varying options that meet the needs of our students,\u201d said Dr. Lew K. Hunnicutt, president of NCC. \u201cWe are still enrolling and serving students, so we hope to grow even more.\u201d<\/p>\n

The college has particularly seen growth in Medical Sonography (91.3 percent), Electrical Systems Technology (59.1 percent), Welding Technology (46.5 percent), Cosmetology (31.1 percent), Early Childhood Education (26.4 percent), Associate Degree of Nursing (22.1 percent) programs from last fall. The campus Hispanic population continues to grow, with an increase of 11.4 percent, which matches a trend throughout the county. Last year, NCC hired a dedicate Community Engagement and Latino Programs Coordinator to support the growing population. NCC is experiencing a 14.5 percent increase with adult learners (25-44).<\/p>\n

\u201cAs noted, student success is a priority, and that stems from teamwork and intentional collaboration,\u201d said Dr. Levy Brown, vice president of student services at NCC. \u201cStudents want to receive their education at an institution where they feel supported holistically both inside and outside of the classroom. At NCC, our nationally recognized \u2018Blue Love\u2019 culture speaks volumes to our commitment to overall student success. I am excited about the collaborative strategic enrollment management efforts that will continue to help us educate more citizens within our service area and beyond. Further, we are excited about the future outlook and growth potential.\u201d<\/p>\n

Last academic year, NCC served over 20,000 students through curriculum and continuing education programs.<\/p>\n

Yesterday, members of the Student Government Association sponsored a \u2018Welcome Back Bash!\u2019 event with Battle Balls, Create-a-Critter, Build a Terrarium and Monogrammed Water Bottle, providing a fun atmosphere and the true \u2018Blue Love\u2019 spirit for the hundreds of students that attended as they join the Nighthawk family.<\/p>\n

The college still has various \u2018Flex Start\u2019 course offerings open for 14-week and eight-week semesters that can accommodate flexible schedules and provide a range of exciting courses to gain new skills and reach their goals faster. The upcoming August 29 and October 16 start dates are fast approaching.<\/p>\n
