Another record enrollment for Chattahoochee Tech; North Metro at 3,871 students alone

(Media release) Fall Quarter at Chattahoochee Technical College doesn't begin until later this week, but the state's largest technical college is on the verge of yet another quarter of record enrollment. As of Sept. 27, approximately 13,470 students were set to begin their first day of classes this Wednesday. That is well above last fall's enrollment number of around 11,515 students at a growth rate of almost 17 percent.

With seven campuses currently, the college's most popular locations are its Marietta campus with 5,581 enrolled students and its North Metro campus at 3,854 students. However, online classes seem to be a preferred option with 4,237 students enrolled in at least one online class. That marks a 43 percent increase over last year's 2,955 online students. Other campuses experiencing a large growth trend are Paulding and Woodstock's campuses, which each almost doubled in size.
