The bachelor's in health science degree is one program that continually sees rising enrollment at the KU Edwards Campus.
Enrollment in undergraduate and graduate programs supported by the Johnson County Education Research Triangle (JCERT) at the KU Edwards Campus continues to increase, demonstrating that the initiative is meeting educational demands in the Kansas City area. Specifically, in year-over-year credit hours, the bachelor’s in health sciences increased by 60.2% and both the bachelor’s in information technology and the master’s in civil engineering grew more than 30%.
