I have written recently about two US higher education enrollment data trends, both pointing to increasing total enrollments.
I’ve had several readers ask me about the trends - are the 2023-24 census data and the 2025 early view data consistent, and what might explain the trends. For this post I’m sharing my responses with On EdTech+ subscribers. This summary is AI-assisted.
