Southeast Technical College announced a 6% increase in enrollment from Fall 2024 to Fall 2025, serving 2,815 students. The increase reflects the institution’s continued student-first focus on industry relevant academic programming that meets the region’s workforce needs.
“Our students know that when they come to STC, they’re investing in more than an education-they’re investing in a future,” said President Cory Clasemann. “This enrollment growth shows that students value our industry-aligned programs and the clear pathway we provide from learning to meaningful employment.”
Many students say Southeast Tech’s 99% Job Placement Rate and passionate, industry-experienced faculty who prepare graduates with the skills they need in the modern workplace are reasons they choose STC. Additionally, the college’s return on investment is high, and many graduates earn the cost of their technical education in just a few months.
“Students are at the heart of everything we do,” said Megan Fischer, Vice President for Enrollment Management and Student Affairs. “This increase reflects their trust in us to provide an education that is relevant, affordable and transformative. We are proud to see more students choosing STC as the place to launch their careers.”
To support this growth and enhance hands-on learning, STC continues to invest in new facilities. The Healthcare Simulation Center, which opened in 2024, provides realistic clinical environments for health sciences students, while the James Abdnor Center for Advanced Manufacturing, set to open in Fall 2027, will expand opportunities in advanced manufacturing, precision machining and automation technology.
