For the fourth straight year, City Colleges of Chicago has made gains in fall headcount enrollment, exceeding pre-pandemic enrollment. Fall enrollment of 44,296 students in credit and adult education programs combined represents an increase of 3.6% over the prior fall, according to the Illinois Community College Board. The 3.6% increase is on par with the state average of +3.7% and is driven by a 6.6% increase in credit enrollment (compared to a state increase of 5%), and a –6.2% change in adult education enrollment, less than the state-wide change of -6.9%. Credit enrollment increased at five of City Colleges’ seven colleges: Harry S Truman (+19%), Kennedy-King (+17%), Malcolm X (+10%), Richard J. Daley (+4%), Harold Washington College (+2), Wilbur Wright (-1%) and Olive-Harvey (-1.6%). Since the pandemic (Fall 2021), credit enrollment is up for Black male students (+41%), Black female students (+37%), Latine male students (+35%) and Latine female students (+24%). City Colleges of Chicago offers high-quality and affordable education that meets students where they are, academically, personally, and financially.
