U.S. undergraduate enrollment has dipped 3.2% since the fall of 2020.

It comes after a similar drop of nearly 3.5% in 2019.

Meanwhile, here in Pennsylvania, National Student Clearinghouse Research says enrollment has fallen by 6.5% from 2019.

Despite the falling numbers in undergraduate enrollment, more people are enrolling in graduate school than before the COVID-19 pandemic.
