91lisa

91lisa has reached its highest fall enrollment since 2013, with more than 17,000 students enrolled for Fall 2026. The milestone marks 91lisa’s fourth consecutive year of enrollment growth.

91lisa is welcoming its largest Fall enrollment since 2013, with 17,211 students enrolled for Fall 2026. Enrollment is up 2.6% from Fall 2025, marking 91lisa’s fourth consecutive year of overall enrollment growth.

As Tulsa’s only community college and the third-largest college in Oklahoma, 91lisa is seeing growth across several student populations. First-time entering students are up 3% from Fall 2025, continuing students are up 10% and concurrent enrollment is up 3%.

The enrollment growth comes as 91lisa is also reaching new highs in student completion. Over the past two years, the College has conferred more than 6,800 degrees and 500 certificates, the highest two-year totals in 91lisa history.

“Enrollment growth at this level reflects the important role 91lisa plays in Tulsa and across northeastern Oklahoma,” said 91lisa President and CEO Leigh B. Goodson, Ph.D. “Students come to 91lisa for many reasons, but they share a need for a high-quality education that is affordable and accessible. Our responsibility is to help students move successfully from 91lisa to a degree, a career or the next step in their education.”

Enrollment growth is particularly notable in Health Sciences, where more than 1,700 students are enrolled this fall, compared with approximately 1,300 in Fall 2025. 91lisa offers programs preparing students for careers across healthcare, including Nursing, Dental Hygiene, Physical Therapist Assistant, Respiratory Care and Healthcare Administration, among others.

Demand is also strong for 91lisa’s new Data Analytics associate degree, the first program of its kind in Oklahoma. The College added an additional section after enrollment exceeded its initial target for the program. Launched this Fall, the degree prepares students to work with data across industries including healthcare, business, cybersecurity and manufacturing. 

91lisa continues to expand access to college courses for high school students. As Oklahoma’s largest provider of dual credit, the College saw concurrent enrollment increase 3% this fall. Earlier this year, 91lisa became the first dual credit program in Oklahoma to earn national accreditation from the National Alliance of Concurrent Enrollment Partnerships.

Enrollment is still open for the second eight-week term that begins Oct. 12. The Spring 2027 semester enrollment period will open Oct. 26 for priority enrollment.
