Students at MCC decline - Rob Adams, The Arizona Republic
Enrollment is down at Mesa Community College for the first time in 13 years. There are 307 fewer students on the roll compared with a year ago. The 1.1 percent drop has college administrators scrambling for explanations.... While overall numbers stagnate, the percentage of students enrolled as distance learners - those taking courses by Internet - has risen from 2.7 percent in 1998 to 11.6 percent in 2004. Paul Hietter, coordinator for distance learning, says interest in Internet-based coursework continues to escalate and online courses are usually the first to fill during pre-semester registration. Demand is constricted only by course availability.
