Suncrest College says its enrollment numbers are up in their second year since Cumberland College and Parkland College merged in 2023 to become a single entity under the Suncrest College banner.

In a news release the post secondary institution says overall enrollments are up by 25 per cent in comparison to 2023-24 figures.

First year Suncrest university student Ewen Hutzul says the smaller class sizes feel more like what he’s used to and he gets to stay at home still surrounded by family with out the additional financial burdens of moving to a different city. He plans to complete his entire Bachelor of Science in Nursing with the University of Saskatchewan at Suncrest College.

Suncrest College’s university programming continues to grow with the introduction of two options for first-year university students: a Liberal Arts Certificate and a Justice Studies Certificate. These new programs provide students with focused pathways to build foundational skills without having to commit to a four-year degree.
