After several years off steep declines, higher education experts say college enrollments are beginning to stabilize, according to a new report.
After three years of stunted enrollment from the COVID-19 pandemic, undergraduate enrollment at colleges and postsecondary institutions locally and nationally is beginning to stabilize, according to a new report released Wednesday.
"We found a further decline in the number of undergraduate students enrolled in colleges and universities this year, but they were declining at a slower decline than in each of the previous two years," Doug Shapiro, executive director of the National Student Clearinghouse Research Center, told reporters Wednesday.There are bright spots in this enrollment report, which collected data from more than 3,600 postsecondary institutions nationwide.
Shapiro said there's been a"notable inversion" when it comes to community college enrollment, which has been troubling higher ed experts with its steep declines during the last few years. After recording the greatest number of students to its Columbus campus in fall 2021, Ohio State saw about a 2% overall enrollment decline, from 61,677 to 60,540 this fall.
Columbus State Community College saw about a 1% gain in undergraduate enrollment last fall, from 25,102 students in fall 2021 to 25,272 last semester.
