Wiregrass Georgia Technical College President DeAnnia Clements is excited to share that the college’s enrollment has increased by 11.7% this Spring 2024 Semester compared to the Spring 2023 Semester. This marks the seventh straight semester the college has seen an increase in enrollment compared to the previous year. Fall 2023 Semester’s enrollment increased 9.6% compared to the Fall 2022 Semester.
“We are excited to see these increases and are preparing now for continued increase in the number of students,” shared President Clements. “We are consistently looking to see what other programs are needed by the businesses and industries in our 11-county service area or programs that we can offer on additional campuses to meet the demand.” Wiregrass works to stay on top of industry needs by preparing graduates to be able to meet the increasing changes and demands in the workplace.
