It appears we will desperately need it. Between the undergraduate program at NCMC, including a growing Korean program, the new MA in Bible, and the new curriculum in Spanish, we will have over 400 students in the city. In just three years, NCMC has become half as big as the largest enrollment of Nyack College during its first 110 years. Some who have followed the growth of NCMC have asked me whether this is happening at the expense of the growth of the traditional program in Nyack. Maybe a few students from the city have opted for NCMC rather than coming to Nyack, but our growth on the Nyack campus is also phenomenal.
Applications are way up.
We have over 1000 applications this year. Of that number, our new class will exceed 350. The previous high, three years ago, was 313. This will mean that for the fifth straight year we will set a new record for just the Nyack campus enrollment. Needless to say, the atmosphere here is upbeat.
