Sinclair College Begins Fall Term Building on Success with Focus on Student Services, New Programs and Meeting Workforce Needs

Sinclair Community College’s Fall Term is underway with a continued focus on student success and services and new academic programs aimed at meeting the workforce needs of employers in the region.

In-person enrollment for Fall Term 2022 is up more than 24% over 2021, while online enrollment has grown nearly 16% over last year. The number of students pursuing Sinclair bachelor’s degrees has grown significantly over 2021 with a 65% increase. 123 Sinclair students are working toward bachelor’s degrees in Aviation Technology/Professional Pilot and Unmanned Aerial Systems.

Currently, overall Fall Term 2022 enrollment is on par with last year. However, the college has several business units in areas such as College Credit Plus and the prison education program that are still processing students. The college will release additional information comparing enrollment to previous years as it becomes available.

Sinclair College is introducing 18 new degrees and certificates for Fall Term 2022 that will prepare students quickly and for less money to meet the needs of employers in the region.

“Sinclair’s new programs remain true to our mission of finding the need and endeavoring to meet it,” said Dr. Steve Johnson, President & CEO – Sinclair Community College. “Our new degrees and certificates continue our tradition of providing the exceptional education and training students need to succeed in high-demand, well-paying jobs while supporting the workforce needs of employers.”
