Each year for more than a decade enrollment in computing programs has steadily increased, and the pace of those increases has accelerated since the College of Computing was formed in 2019. It is the hard work of everyone in the college, along with our colleagues in admissions, marketing, and the registrar’s office, that helps make this growth possible.
This fall, enrollment in Michigan Tech computing programs grew 13.6 percent over academic year (AY) 2022, the second consecutive year of greater than 10 percent growth, and 95 percent growth in computing programs since 2014.
