Clark College opens with nearly 15,000 students

On Monday, Sept. 26, Clark College opened the doors for its 2011-2012 academic year.  The college welcomed nearly 15,000 students on opening day, a continuation of the historically high enrollment the college has experienced since the 2008-2009 academic year. Clark’s Running Start program welcomed 1,765 students, an increase of 75 students from fall 2010.

This year, under new legislation passed by the Washington state Legislature, there is a limit to the combined high school and college credits that the state will fund for each student. Clark College has the largest Running Start program in the state.
