It's another record-setting year for Missouri's community colleges.

The Missouri Community College Association said enrollment at the state's 12 institutions was 106,486 when the fall semester began.

That's up more than 8,000 students from last year.

Association director Zora Mulligan said enrollment has been growing at community colleges for the past five years.

Many of Missouri's public universities also reported record enrollments this fall.
