DICKINSON, N.Y. — Classes for the fall semester at SUNY Broome Community College started Aug. 25, and the school says its enrollment for the fall semester is up 15 percent, a gain of 502 students, compared to a year earlier.
SUNY Broome acknowledged that SUNY Reconnect, New York State’s free community college initiative, contributed to the increase. A total of 733 students enrolled in the new program at SUNY Broome this fall.
The college also noted growth in business-information management, health studies, health information technology, early childhood/childhood education, and computer security & forensics — all of which are Reconnect-eligible programs.
“We’re very proud to be reporting SUNY Broome’s strongest enrollment numbers since Fall 2020, with increases in both our traditional student and adult learner populations,” SUNY Broome Community College President Tony Hawkins said in the announcement. “As an institution, we are energized by this enrollment surge, and excited to help our students become their best at Broome.”
