How drop in enrollment could affect UNG's budget in the future - Ben Anderson, the GainsvilleTimes

Fewer students are going to college across the country, and the University of North Georgia is no exception in seeing dropping attendance.  The university is part of a national trend that has seen a 5% decline in enrollment over the past two-and-a-half years, about 1 million students, according to the National Clearinghouse Research Center.  UNG has fared slightly better, with a 3.8% drop in total enrollment, from 19,748 students in fall 2019 to 18,985 in fall 2021. It is due primarily to a smaller pool of students pursuing associate degrees, according to data provided by UNG.
