Preliminary National Student Clearinghouse data show undergraduate enrollment rose 2.4% year‑over‑year this fall, driving a 2% rise in overall postsecondary enrollment and marking a third consecutive year of gains. Graduate enrollment remained flat, and master’s programs saw a modest decline. The Clearinghouse flagged a notable drop in computer and information science enrollment — a double‑digit fall at the graduate level and a steep decline among undergraduates — while majors tied to health and trades posted gains. Matthew Holsapple of the Clearinghouse noted external labor‑market signals, including AI‑related layoffs, may be influencing student choices. Institutions should read these early figures as directional: enrollment composition is shifting toward shorter credentials and workforce‑aligned fields, with implications for program strategy and revenue forecasting.
