Undergraduate Enrollment Falls While Graduate School Enrollment Increases
By: KDKA-TV News Staff
HARRISBURG (KDKA) - Fewer and fewer people are enrolling in college and it's not just happening here in Pennsylvania.
U.S. undergraduate enrollment has dipped 3.2% since the fall of 2020.
It comes after a similar drop of nearly 3.5% in 2019.
Meanwhile, here in Pennsylvania, National Student Clearinghouse Research says enrollment has fallen by 6.5% from 2019.
Despite the falling numbers in undergraduate enrollment, more people are enrolling in graduate school than before the COVID-19 pandemic.
