The Alamo Community Colleges’ fall 2007 enrollment of 50,296 is the
highest fall enrollment ever recorded by the ACCD. This enrollment
figure also makes the Alamo Community Colleges’ the largest provider of
higher education in the area.

Enrollment for fall 2007 at each of the ACCD colleges is: Northwest
Vista College-10,720; Palo Alto College-8,024; St. Philip’s
College-9,944; San Antonio College-21,510 and Northeast Lakeview
College-98*.

“This enrollment increase reflects the fact that the community and our
students recognize the outstanding value that a college education at
one of our colleges represents,” said Alamo Community Collegs’
Chancellor Dr. Bruce H. Leslie. “We offer a top quality college
education for a very affordable cost to make higher education
accessible to as many members of our community as possibe,” he added.

The Alamo Community Colleges, Northwest Vista College, Palo Alto
College, St. Philip’s College, San Antonio College and Northeast
Lakeview College, enroll more than half of the college population in
San Antonio. The ACCD colleges offer day, evening and weekend classes,
plus Internet courses and telecourses. Several of the colleges also
offer weekend degree options that allow students to earn a two-year
associate’s degree by attending classes only on weekends.

County area: Palo Alto College, St. Philip’s College, San Antonio
College, Northeast Lakeview College and Northwest Vista College. The
