Barton Community College has continued to defy shrinking enrollment trends experienced by other Kansas community colleges, and by no small margin. Barton grew by more than 20 percent since 2010.All Kansas community colleges other than Barton showed decreases in enrollment from 2010-2015, ranging from -2.2 percent to -33.6 percent, according to a document released by the Kansas Board of Regents. The document also showed that Barton is the second largest community college in the state based on headcount, which is the total number of students served.Barton grew from 13,519 to 16,275 students in the five-year span, though that number is conservative as Barton has enrollment cycles mid-semester that are not accounted for in the KBOR document.
