A Back to School Special Report on the Baby Boom Echo: America's Schools Are Overcrowded and Wearing Out -- (August 17, 1999)Figure 10. -- Enrollment in public and private 2-year and 4-year colleges, by attendance status: Fall 1984 to fall 2009
Enrollment numbers (in millions)
Total college enrollment is expected to reach a record 14.9 million students in 1999. From 1989 to 1999, full-time and part-time enrollment increased at fairly similar rates, 10 and 9 percent, respectively. That situation is projected to change as large numbers of high school graduates enter college during the late 1990s and early 2000s. Between 1999 and 2009, full-time enrollment is projected to increase by close to 14 percent, while part-time enrollment is projected to increase by 4 percent.
