Missouri Valley College is reporting a 13 percent increase in enrollment over last spring, its best spring enrollment period in history.

Admissions Director Derek Bohnsack said MVC had 1,381 students enrolled this spring, compared to 1,209 at the same time last year. Missouri Valley saw a 14 percent increase in its new student population in the fall, with a record 709 students arriving in August.

MVC President Joe Parisi said the record term over term results stem from connecting with students and families who are seeking academic and career pursuits but also desire “a community where a values-driven degree combined with a culture of care is evidenced daily.
