IECC Reports Steady Enrollment Numbers

(Undated) — Illinois Eastern Community Colleges is reporting steady enrollment this fall, with strong gains among dual credit, career and technical, transfer, and adult education students. While overall full-time equivalent enrollment is down just 0.5 percent, Vice Chancellor of Institutional Outreach, Tona Ambrose, who directs IECC’s enrollment management efforts, says the numbers reflect stability and strength across the district’s four colleges, Frontier, Lincoln Trail, Olney Central, and Wabash Valley. Ambrose said the district’s core campus operations remain stable, and that enrollment declines have occurred primarily within IECC’s Business and Industry division, a result of purposeful, strategic operational decisions rather than decreased student interest. IECC was recently named among the Top 200 U.S. Community Colleges by the Aspen Institute College Excellence Program.
