OGDEN, Utah (AP) -- For the Utah College of Applied Technology, a downturned economy has brought an upswing in student enrollment.

UCAT's recently released annual report shows enrollment increased nearly 12 percent during the 2007-2008 school year.

UCAT has eight regional campuses statewide. Student membership -- the amount of time students are enrolled -- also increased 4.3 percent, the highest amount in UCAT's seve-year history.

Jared Haines, vice president of instruction and student services, says students are coming back to the classroom to upgrade their skills.
