There have been a lot of issues surrounding colleges and universities—collectively known as higher education—across the nation. Undergraduate enrollment rates are down, impacting universities’ financial health who rely on them for constant revenue, leaving some institutions uncertain of their future.
The drop is due to multiple reasons, including but not limited to the demographic cliff, Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) issues and the financial perception of a college education.
According to Seattle University’s InformSU data, requested by The Spectator, first-time first-year enrollment has decreased by 5.1% from a decade ago. While applications are down from last year—a high for the university—in the long run, they are up 12.5% from 2014. Overall, since 2010, Seattle U’s total undergraduate enrollment has only decreased by 4.7%.
Seattle U is doing comparatively well nationally as U.S. undergraduate college enrollment continues to decrease since its peak in 2010, by around 14.9% since then, according to Education Data Initiative.
At its most extreme, enrollment declines can lead to layoffs or school closures and mergers, as seen in the University of New Orleans and Eastern Nazarene College. The state of higher education impacts us all as students as it could lead to budget problems for Seattle U, which could lead to changes in what the university can provide its students in faculty, resources, facilities, etc.
