Enrollment Continues To Decline At Oregon Colleges, Universities by Rob Manning, Oregon Public Broadcasting

Oregon’s universities and community colleges have continued to shrink since the highs they reached during the Great Recession, going back a decade. Total university enrollment is at its lowest point since 2012, and the enrollment of students from Oregon is in a trough not seen since 2008. According to numbers from Oregon’s Higher Education Coordinating Commission, the only public university where enrollment went up this fall is Oregon State University. OSU’s student body grew mainly thanks to increases at its Cascades branch campus in Bend and from its online courses. OSU’s “Ecampus” grew by 7.9 percent from a year ago and OSU-Cascades grew by 4.6 percent. https://www.opb.org/news/article/enrollment-decline-oregon-college-university-2018/
