PJC Sets Enrollment Record
For Fall Semester

 

From PJC

 

Once again, student numbers at Paris Junior College have set another 
record.  This year, total fall semester enrollment is 6,214.  One year 
ago staff and faculty celebrated as it reached 5,584.  Total contact 
hours for the fall semester are 1,360,113, up from 1,204,720 this time 
last year.

 

The fall numbers represent a 31 percent increase over the last two 
fall semesters.  Dr. Jerry Hammack, Director of Institutional 
Research, reported enrollment this fall included 859 at the Sulphur 
Springs campus, 1,630 at the Greenville campus, and 4,433 on the Paris 
campus.  Numerous students attend classes on more than one PJC 
campus.  Of the total students enrolled, 1,250 are high school 
students taking dual credit classes.  Students enrolled in dual credit 
take a college course but receive high school and college credit 
simultaneously.

 

 

“I can't say enough about our staff and faculty in achieving these 
numbers,” said PJC President Dr. Pamela Anglin.  “We have very fine, 
hardworking employees at PJC that our community can be proud of.  We 
are stretched thin in handling these record numbers but faculty and 
staff step up to meet the needs of our student population.  In these 
challenging economic times we will continue to assist the needs of 
individuals, businesses and communities in our service area.”
