Enrollment

Recent trends in undergraduate enrollment reflect the increasing diversity of the U.S. college-age population, as Asian and Hispanic shares of the population grow. Most notably, underrepresented minorities, Hispanics in particular, are an increasing fraction of undergraduate students, and whites are a decreasing fraction. In all racial and ethnic groups, more women than men enroll in college.
