SFCC reports 13 percent increase in enrollment | KMMO

State Fair Community College (SFCC) has reported a 13 percent increase in enrollment for the fall 2024 semester. The number of students at SFCC is now 4,242, 488 more students than last year.

The college’s growth is not just limited to Sedalia, as the college reported increases in student enrollment in Boonville, Clinton, Eldon and Jefferson City. The Jefferson City location, which recently had a ribbon cutting, reported a total enrollment of 60 students.
The increase in enrollment also means an increase in credit hours, with the college reporting a total of 40,098 credit hours, an increase of 11.3 percent.

Among the new students, 80.6 percent are traditional students (straight out of high school), of whom 63.4 percent are first-generation college students. SFCC also saw a significant increase in dual credit high school enrollment with 1,499 students enrolled, a 22.6 percent increase over the previous year.

In addition to academic expansion, the college is growing physically with a new, yet-to-be-named, $20 million, 40,000-square-foot Agriculture and Transportation Technology Center and a new 196-bed residence hall, both scheduled to open in 2025. Both new construction sites are adjacent to the college’s recently acquired 200-acre farm on the west side of campus.

Enrollment for the Spring 2025 semester begins November 2nd. Students can apply for admission by clicking here.
