Colleges & Universities in the US

As job markets have weakened and employment prospects have worsened, more high school graduates have to forgo joining the workforce and opted for postsecondary education. However, this trend reversed as COVID-19 struck. Nonetheless, the shift to fully remote learning amid the pandemic somewhat hindered demand for colleges and universities, especially among private universities. This caused enrollment at private nonprofit universities to decline in 2020 and this trend continued into Spring 2022. Overall, revenue for the Colleges and Universities industry has fallen an annualized 1.3% to $582.6 billion over the five years to 2023, including a 1.1% increase in 2023 alone.

This industry includes public and private universities and colleges that offer academic courses and grant baccalaureate or graduate degrees. The requirement for admission is a high school diploma or equivalent general academic training. Instruction is typically provided on physical campuses, although online education and other unorthodox settings are gaining popularity. This industry does not include for-profit institutions or community colleges.

This report covers the scope, size, disposition and growth of the industry including the key sensitivities and success factors. Also included are five year industry forecasts, growth rates and an analysis of the industry key players and their market shares.
