The Coronavirus Crisis 'Losing A Generation': Fall College Enrollment Plummets For 1st-Year Students If these preliminary numbers hold up, Shapiro says the last two years of undergrad decline, totaling more than 6%, would be the largest two-year decrease in at least half a century. "Far from filling the hole of last year's enrollment declines, we are still digging it deeper." "It's very frightening," says Doug Shapiro, who runs the nonprofit research center. The numbers show there are now 240,000 fewer undergraduates enrolled this fall compared with the same time last year, and if that rate of decline holds up for the rest of the colleges, that could translate into almost a half-million fewer undergraduate students. The numbers are from a preliminary data set representing 8.4 million undergrad and graduate students from about 50% of U.S. The decline of 3.2% in undergraduate enrollment this fall follows a similar drop of 3.4% the previous year, the first fall of the pandemic, according to the research from the National Student Clearinghouse Research Center.
colleges and universities is on track to fall by another nearly 500,000 undergraduate students this fall, continuing the historic drops that began with the start of the coronavirus pandemic, according to new data out Tuesday.
