Based on the history of our first class Warehouse Management in Fall 2020, there was a lot of interest even though the students were given short notice. Some students had a conflict with the day and time because of prior class commitments. If each of these classes in the program were given the usual notice, then each class offered is expected to have 25-30 students enroll. If all six classes are offered each semester then total program enrollment will be150-180 students.
