Texas Higher Education Fall 2008 Preliminary Enrollment Report Highlights

The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board's preliminary report for Fall 2008 shows a significant increase in college enrollment, with a total rise of nearly 290,000 students since 2000. Two-year colleges experienced 70% of this growth, while Hispanic enrollment accounted for 44% of the increase. Despite challenges due to Hurricane Ike affecting certain institutions, enrollment trends demonstrate a consistent upward trajectory, especially in high-growth regions, though some colleges, like Lamar Port Arthur, are seeing declines.
