Seward County Community College

 

Seward County Community College is nearing its highest-ever enrollment numbers, with a 17 percent increase in student head count for the current academic year. The release of official numbers from the Kansas Board of Regents this week provided plenty of good news for the college and its stakeholders:

• Increased Kansas student enrollment, which grew by 32 percent since 2020.

• Highest student head count growth — 17 percent — in Kansas (including all two-year community colleges and four-year state universities).

• Increased credit hours — 9 percent — reflect more part-time students who access flexible delivery options and staggered start dates.

“It was earlier this year when MAAM and the City of Liberal reached out to us at the Coronado Museum. They’d been discussing the idea for a little while of making some more room at MAAM, and ultimately, they thought there might be a better spot for Bob’s Diner somewhere else in town,” Dowell said. “So they reached out to us, and we were definitely interested in the opportunity, so we were really happy to receive that call.”
