National Student Clearinghouse data show overall postsecondary enrollment rose 1% in fall 2025, marking a tentative recovery to pre‑pandemic size driven primarily by community colleges and public four‑year institutions. The clearinghouse flagged three areas to watch: a near‑6% drop in international graduate enrollment, rapid growth in dual‑enrollment at community colleges, and sectoral shifts away from private nonprofit four‑years. The patterns suggest stabilizing headcounts but meaningful structural change in student mix and program demand.
