Undergraduate enrollment has experienced two consecutive semesters of growth as of Spring 2024. Does this mean colleges can relax?

Simply put: No.

Between demographic shifts, concerns over the value of a degree, financial stress, and uncertain future career opportunities, colleges can’t afford to ignore their enrollment strategies.

  • Strategies and retention efforts you can explore.
  • Ways to stay competitive with your programs and services.

Whether we’re approaching the upcoming enrollment cliff or not, you can’t afford to ignore your enrollment and recruitment programs.
