A new
report from the U.S. Department of
Education offers preliminary data on higher education enrollments in the fall of
2013. The report includes data on all students enrolled at Title IV
institutions.
These are educational entities that
are permitted to participate in federal student financial assistance
programs.
In 2013, there was a total of
20,847,787 students enrolled in high education. Of these 2,790,255 were Black or
African American. Thus, Blacks made up 13.4 percent of all enrollments in higher
education.
The same report issued a year ago
found that in the fall of 2012 there were 2,864,723 African Americans enrolled
in Title IV institutions in the United States. A year earlier, the same report
listed 2,966,463 African Americans enrolled in these institutions. Thus in 2013,
there were 176,208 fewer African American students enrolled in higher education
than was the case in 2011.
In 2013, Blacks were 12.3 percent
of all students enrolled in state-operated colleges and universities and 11.2
percent of total enrollments at private, nonprofit institutions. But Blacks made
up 25.6 percent of all students enrolled at for-profit institutions of higher
education.
