Edison State Sees Record Number of Enrolled Students During Fall Semester

Edison State Community College celebrated a new milestone: its highest number of enrolled students, with a record 4,626 students taking courses during the fall 2024 semester. On Monday, August 26, faculty at the College started the new academic year with full rosters in both in-person and online classes.

“It’s rewarding to know that this fall Edison State is serving the greatest number of students it has ever enrolled in a single term,” said Edison State President Chris Spradlin. “With the recent addition of the RN to BSN, Edison State’s first bachelor’s degree program, coupled with growth in short-term certificate programs, we’re pleased to see continued interest in higher education.”

Spradlin added, “These are students from all walks of life who are talented in so many ways. Like all of us, they have challenges to deal with, but what sets them apart is each one has an educational goal in mind and a dream they hold for bettering their lives.”

Since 1973, Edison State has followed in the footsteps of its namesake, Thomas Alva Edison, earning a reputation for being an innovator in providing accessible, quality education and training opportunities for students. The College currently offers over 100 degrees and certificates; four accessible in-person locations at Piqua, Troy, Greenville, and Eaton; and convenient online learning options to meet the demands of a growing workforce and diverse schedules.

“We at Edison State are honored to be able to help these students complete their educational goals and realize their dreams,” Spradlin said. “We’re proud of them, and we look forward to seeing them serve our local communities within their chosen career fields upon graduation.”
