Overall college enrollment dropped by more than 1.2 million from 2010 to 2017, with the percentage decrease for black students more than double that of all students. Enrollment drops in the two-year and four-year for-profit sectors, which experienced many college closings, and the two-year public-college sector contributed to the overall decrease. Percentage decreases in enrollment in the for-profit sectors were greater for all students than for black students, while black students had a greater percentage drop in enrollment in the two-year public sector than did all students. Percentage growth in the four-year public sector was nearly twice as great for all students as it was for black students.
