�鶹����

�鶹���� has reached its highest fall enrollment since 2013, with more than 17,000 students enrolled for Fall 2026. The milestone marks �鶹����’s fourth consecutive year of enrollment growth.

�鶹���� is welcoming its largest Fall enrollment since 2013, with 17,211 students enrolled for Fall 2026. Enrollment is up 2.6% from Fall 2025, marking �鶹����’s fourth consecutive year of overall enrollment growth.

As Tulsa’s only community college and the third-largest college in Oklahoma, �鶹���� is seeing growth across several student populations. First-time entering students are up 3% from Fall 2025, continuing students are up 10% and concurrent enrollment is up 3%.

The enrollment growth comes as �鶹���� is also reaching new highs in student completion. Over the past two years, the College has conferred more than 6,800 degrees and 500 certificates, the highest two-year totals in �鶹���� history.

“Enrollment growth at this level reflects the important role �鶹���� plays in Tulsa and across northeastern Oklahoma,” said �鶹���� President and CEO Leigh B. Goodson, Ph.D. “Students come to �鶹���� for many reasons, but they share a need for a high-quality education that is affordable and accessible. Our responsibility is to help students move successfully from �鶹���� to a degree, a career or the next step in their education.”

Enrollment growth is particularly notable in Health Sciences, where more than 1,700 students are enrolled this fall, compared with approximately 1,300 in Fall 2025. �鶹���� offers programs preparing students for careers across healthcare, including Nursing, Dental Hygiene, Physical Therapist Assistant, Respiratory Care and Healthcare Administration, among others.

Demand is also strong for �鶹����’s new Data Analytics associate degree, the first program of its kind in Oklahoma. The College added an additional section after enrollment exceeded its initial target for the program. Launched this Fall, the degree prepares students to work with data across industries including healthcare, business, cybersecurity and manufacturing. 

�鶹���� continues to expand access to college courses for high school students. As Oklahoma’s largest provider of dual credit, the College saw concurrent enrollment increase 3% this fall. Earlier this year, �鶹���� became the first dual credit program in Oklahoma to earn national accreditation from the National Alliance of Concurrent Enrollment Partnerships.

Enrollment is still open for the second eight-week term that begins Oct. 12. The Spring 2027 semester enrollment period will open Oct. 26 for priority enrollment.
