Blinn College’s official enrollment for the 2026 spring semester was the highest spring headcount since the pandemic.
But most of the conversation at Tuesday’s (June 16) board of trustees meeting was about the continued decline on the Bryan campus. This spring’s headcount of 3,764 compares with more than 12,000 ten years ago.
Trustee Randy Wells asked administrators more than once if there should be a change in the focus of Blinn’s Bryan campus. Wells also asked to have a workshop about the future of the Bryan campus.
A second Blinn location in Brazos County, the RELLIS campus, also had fewer this spring compared with a year ago.
The decreases in Bryan and RELLIS were more than offset by increases in three other areas.
The number of dual credit high school students jumped 22 percent or by almost 600 compared with last spring. There were also more students on Blinn’s main campus in Brenham and those taking online classes.
