Graduate and Undergraduate Teacher Education Programs Continue to Grow

GREENVILLE, ILL. – Greenville College posted enrollment figures today with a total of 1350 students registered for the fall semester.

Vice President of Enrollment Dr. Pepper Dill comments on this year's total enrollment, “We are very pleased about the positive growth we've experienced this fall and the excitement and energy that creates throughout the Greenville College community.  To be up more than 40 students over last fall is the result of a lot of good work done by a lot of great people,” said Dr. Pepper.

Making up the total are 917 traditional students, 241 GOAL students (the college's degree completion program), 114 students in graduate teacher education programs, and 20 LAMP students, the college's Mast of Arts in leadership and ministry and 58 students in the Undergraduate Teacher Education Program (UTEP).

Students receive their bachelor's degree and teaching certificate from Greenville College. The program has created partnerships with area community colleges including Kaskaskia and Lewis and Clark Community Colleges.
