The State of Higher Education 2023 Report
College enrollment rates are lower now than they were before the pandemic, and perhaps even more concerning, undergraduate credential completions fell for the first time in a decade in the 2021-2022 academic year.
Gallup and Lumina Foundation have partnered to better understand barriers to enrollment, why currently enrolled students may be considering leaving their programs — and what makes them stay.
Download the State of Higher Education 2023 report to discover the experiences of currently enrolled students and the attitudes and beliefs about higher education among unenrolled U.S. adults, including those with previous postsecondary experience.
