Strait Area campus principal Vivek Saxena said the enrollment at the local campus has been steady, noting the Strait campus is unique in that it has destination programs such as its marine and trades programs, and the upcoming wind turbine program in the fall of 2026. He noted they are adding other new trades programs as well.

 

 

 

Saxena said the core enrollment is around 600 students, and they also offer shorter courses for continuing education students.
