Economy, job training fill area junior colleges
Economic and population booms in Texas are translating into booming enrollments for some local colleges.
Raw head counts at Kilgore College and Panola College show two-year enrollment increases of 18 percent or more. Northeast Texas Community College in Titus County is reporting a modest 1 percent rise in students.
The 5,404 students during the first day of school Friday marked a 7 percent enrollment increase compared with 2007 and an 18.7 percent increase compared with the 4,554 students in 2006.
