Butler County Community College will discontinue credit-bearing, in-person programs at its LindePointe campus by August, following a significant drop in enrollment from 300 in 2014 to just 45 in 2024. The college cites unsustainable enrollment numbers and anticipates saving $450,000 annually with this decision. Students will still have access to online classes and other training programs. The college intends to help affected students develop degree-completion plans. Despite exploring partnerships to salvage the campus programs, viable long-term solutions were not found.
"Our numbers simply have not rebounded to a sustainable level," Joshua Novak, vice president for student affairs and enrollment management, said in the release.
"While we looked at potential partnerships and alternative models, we could not identify a solution that was feasible long term," Megan Coval, the college's interim president, said in the release.
