Summer enrollment is up nearly 20% at West Virginia University at Parkersburg.

The increase is about 212 more students, or an 18.6% hike, compared to last year.

This includes students enrolled in both online and classroom courses.

"We have been strategically 'growing' our summer enrollment and attracting a number of transient students from other colleges who take advantage of our course transferability and affordable tuition," noted Rhonda Richards, executive dean of academic affairs.

"And the popularity of our on-line courses also is contributing to the overall summer enrollment increase," she added.

About 60 percent of students are taking online classes this summer.
