At least 56 people applied to Venango County college in the 2022-23 school year.
NCES data shows that among them, around 43 students enrolled in the university, all of them in undergraduate programs.
The reported undergraduate student body is comprised mostly of white (95.3%) and Asian (2.3%) students.
Among the institutions that provided disclosed enrollment data, Venango County Area Vocational Technical School stood out with the largest enrollment at the time, welcoming 43 students.
U.S. college enrollment has been in a downward trend since peaking at around 18.1 million students in 2010. Recent increases offered some relief, but experts project a steeper decline in 2025.
This decline is likely due to two main factors. First, the pool of young adults is shrinking as birth rates have fallen nearly 23% between 2007 and 2022. Second, the rising cost of higher education, including skyrocketing student loan debt. A 2023 Wall Street Journal report shows that more than half of Americans think a four-year degree is not worth the cost.
Some educational data is based on estimates. Shifting demographics among student populations can sometimes result in gender totals which do not equal 100%.
