U.S. postsecondary enrollment rose 1% in fall 2025, driven mainly by community colleges and public four‑year institutions, according to National Student Clearinghouse data. Community colleges posted a 3% gain, with a large share attributable to dual‑enrollment and undergraduate certificate growth; graduate enrollment slipped slightly, led by a 5.9% decline in international graduate students. Analysts flagged three areas to watch: international graduate enrollment (which weakened), sectoral shifts toward public and short‑term credential programs, and program-level changes such as declines in computer science enrollments. The data suggest enrollment growth masks structural change in student composition and demand. Enrollment officers should prioritize international‑student recruitment strategies, strengthen dual‑enrollment partnerships, and reassess program portfolios to align curricula with shifting employer demand and student interest.
