The decline in college enrollment is worsening. According to a just released report by the National Student Clearinghouse Research Center (NSCRC), total postsecondary enrollment, including both undergraduate and graduate students, decreased by 4.1% - equal to about 685,000 students - in spring 2022 compared to spring 2021. Overall postsecondary enrollment now stands at about 16.2 million students.
Added to the 3.5% drop that was seen in spring 2021, the overall two-year decline in college enrollment has reached 7.4%, or nearly 1.3 million students since spring 2020. The deepening slide dashed hopes that the worst of the pandemic-era erosion of enrollment was over and, instead, raised concerns that other factors - such as growing skepticism over the value of college - may be keeping students away.
Undergraduate enrollment decreased by more than 662,000 students - or 4.7% - from spring 2021, bringing its total two-year decline, roughly corresponding to the period of the Covid-19 pandemic, to 1.4 million students, a decrease of 9.4%. The decline was even steeper than the 3.1% decrease in undergraduate numbers seen last fall.
Graduate student enrollment was off by only .8%, a loss of slightly more than 22,000 students. But that loss contrasts with an increase in graduate school enrollment in spring 2021 of 4.6%.
All institutional sectors experienced enrollment declines this spring, but their severity varied considerably.
· Public community colleges and four-year institutions saw a combined drop of more than 604,000 students, or a 5% decline.
· Community colleges were again hit the hardest, losing about 351,000 students, a 7.8% decrease over last spring. The total loss in community college enrollment since spring 2020 has now reached 827,000 students.
· Public four-year college enrollment was down 3.4%.
· Private four-year institutions saw their enrollment drop 1.7%.
One Bright Spot
The one bright spot to be found in the report is that first-time, first-year enrollment by undergraduate students increased 4.2% this spring, resulting in a gain of 13,700 students. That increase compares to a decline of 3.5%, or 11,800 students, in spring 2021. Whether this increase augurs for anything more than a temporary turnaround in enrollment remains to be seen.
Nearly 340,000 freshmen enrolled for the first time this spring. Community college freshmen increased by 6,000 students or 3.1%, after a decline the previous spring of 23,000 students, a 10.7% loss. Public four-year colleges reported an increase in freshmen of 7,300 students, a gain of 10.8%.
“College enrollment declines appear to be worsening,” said Doug Shapiro, executive director, National Student Clearinghouse Research Center. “Although there may be some signs of a nascent recovery, particularly in a slight increase of first-year students, the numbers are small, and it remains to be seen whether they will translate into a larger freshman recovery in the coming fall.”
· Enrollment of full-time students decreased by 3.8% (403,000 students), while part-timers decreased 4.5% (282,000 students).
· Enrollment of women dropped 4.6%, while among men the decrease was 3.3%. The decrease for women is more than double the loss from the previous year, bringing the two-year, total enrollment decline to 665,000 female students. Female enrollment declined the most at community colleges (-9.2% or 251,000 fewer women versus 100,000 or 5.6% fewer men). Across all sectors, men declined by more than 220,000 students.

除了2021年春季出现下降3.5%之外，自2020年春季以来，大学入学率的年总体下降幅度已达到7.4%，即近130万名学生。入学率不断下滑打破了疫情时代最严重的缩招已经结束的希望，相反，引发了人们对其他因素——如对大学价值的怀疑与日俱增——可能会让学生远离的担忧。

报告中发现的一个亮点是，今年春天，本科新生首次入学人数增加了4.2%，即1.37万名学生。相比之下，2021年春天，学生人数下降了3.5%，即1.18万人。这一增长是否预示着招生人数的暂时好转还有待观察。

NSCRC执行主任道格·夏皮罗（Doug Shapiro）表示：“大学入学人数的下降似乎正在恶化。尽管可能出现了一些复苏的初步迹象，尤其是一年级学生人数略有增加，但这个数字很小，能否在即将到来的秋季转化为更大规模的新生复苏还有待观察。”
