The number of enrollments into two and four year colleges is declining across the United States. But, some states are avoiding the trend.
Arizona is in the top 5 states in the US that has seen an increase in post-secondary enrollment according to the National Student Clearinghouse Research Center. The state saw an increase of more than 5,600 students going to a two or four year institution in Fall 2016.
Arizona is part of a trend, as the West and South are seeing the largest increases in enrollment. The North and Midwest are affected by the greatest decreases.
And while fewer people are applying to post-secondary schools, more people are applying to graduate schools from four-year public institutions nationwide.
