from In The NOCO · host KUNC
More students in Colorado are headed to college. And enrollment numbers at Colorado colleges are climbing faster than predicted. At the University of Colorado, for example, enrollment grew by 3.5 percent this school year – that's substantially more than the 0.5 percent increase the school’s officials had expected. So, what’s behind the increase? And how is it changing who’s attending college in Colorado? Spoiler alert: It might involve CU Boulder football coach Deion Sanders. For answers, host Erin O’Toole checked in with Dr Angie Paccione – Executive Director of Colorado’s Department of Higher Education. Sign up for the In The NoCo newsletter: Visit KUNC.orgQuestions?
