In North Dakota, the overall population has been declining because of the outward migration of young people, officials say. With the exception of several counties containing larger cities, only those counties that contain American Indian reservations have recorded population increases.
The demand for higher education has meant that UTTC has faced a 50 percent to 60 percent increase in enrollment figures. In 2001-2002, there were 409 students enrolled for each term, says Kathy Johnson, the director of enrollment services. That number increased to 1,188 in 2005-2006.
