Swayne faces lawmakers, touts rising enrollment
NIC President Nick Swayne
North Idaho College President Nick Swayne touted the school’s growing enrollment Wednesday when he addressed the Idaho House and Senate education committees in Boise.
During the fall semester, 4,590 students were enrolled at NIC, an increase of about 15% over the previous year. Spring enrollment numbers aren’t yet final, though Swayne said he expects to see an increase of about 23% over this time last year.
Swayne said NIC is bucking a downward trend that has existed since around 2010. At that time, more than 6,000 students were enrolled at NIC, a number that dropped between 3% and 6% each subsequent year. Now enrollment numbers are rising consistently for the first time in more than a decade.
