Despite the economic downturn, applications to the University of Vermont and the Vermont State Colleges are up over last year.

Chris Lucier, UVM’s vice president for enrollment management, says applications to the school have risen 12 percent over last year’s all-time high.

He says the number of applications from Vermonters rose 18 percent, an increase that was expected with the economy.

At Vermont State Colleges, applications have risen 18 percent at Vermont Technical College, 12 percent at Castleton State College and 11 percent at Johnson State College.

Private institutions, such as Champlain, Middlebury, St. Michael’s colleges, had mixed results.
