Notes

The total college enrollment in the United States increased since 1950, reaching 21 million in 2010 from just over 2 million in 1950. Since 2010, enrollments have declined by nearly 10% to 19 million in 2023. The growing popularity of alternate educational pathways, the shrinking population of traditional college-age students, and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic have driven this decline.
