Enrollment growth was strong across all sectorsand student populations in 2024. These positive enrollment trends will help Kentucky reach its educational attainment goal of 60% of adults with a postsecondary credential by the year 2030.  \nTotal Undergraduate  \nTotal undergraduate enrollment in Kentucky increased across all sectors from fall 2023 to 2024 and has now rebounded above pre-pandemic levels. Over the last five years, private, non-profit institutions affiliated with the Association of Independent Kentucky Colleges and Universities (AIKCU) saw the largest percentage increases, followed by KCTCS and public universities. Postsecondary enrollment growth is vital to producing a skilled workforce and maintaining the financial health of institutions, enabling them to invest in essential programs and services.  \n4-Year Publics  \n2019 2020 2021 2022 2023 2024  \n5-Year Change: +1.1%  \n1-Year Change: +3.9%  \n2-Year Publics  \n2019 2020 2021 2022 2023 2024  \n5-Year Change: +7.2%  \n1-Year Change: +6.8%  \nAIKCU  \n2019 2020 2021 2022 2023 2024  \n5-Year Change: +10.1% 1-Year Change +3.7%  \nFirst-time Undergraduate  \nUndergraduate enrollment among first-time students (usually of traditional age) increased from fall 2023 to fall 2024 across all sectors. At four-year public universities, first-time student enrollment reached its highest peak in five years. Although first-time enrollment was up from the previous year at KCTCS institutions, it remains below 2019 levels. AIKCU institutions experienced a second consecutive enrollment increase in first-time students after several years of incremental declines.  \n4-Year Publics  \n18,537  \n18,384  \n17,563  \n19,222 19,648 20,078  \n\n|  |  |  |  |  |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n\n2019 2020 2021 2022 2023 2024  \n5-Year Change: +8.3%  \n1-Year Change: +2.2%  \n2-Year Publics  \n13,986  \n2019 2020 2021 2022 2023 2024  \n5-Year Change: -6.1%  \n1-Year Change: 6.8%  \nAIKCU  \n6,179 6,106 5,987 6,015 6,258 6,435  \n2019 2020 2021 2022 2023 2024  \n5-Year Change: +4.2%  \n1-Year Change: +2.8%  \nUnderrepresented Minority (URM)  \nKentucky institutions have been remarkably successful at improving enrollment among underrepresented minority students (Black, Hispanic/Latino, American Indian, Alaskan Native, Native Hawaiian, Other Pacific Islander or two or more races) . Since 2019, URM enrollment has experienced double-digit percentage increases across all sectors, with KCTCS institutions leading the way.  \n4-Year Publics 2-Year Publics AIKCU  \n5-Year Change: +23.9%  \n1-Year Change: +7.9%  \n5-Year Change: +35.1%  \n1-Year Change: +13.3%  \n5-Year Change: +26.6%  \n1-Year Change: +11.2%  \nLow-income Undergraduate  \nAfter four years of subsequent declines, low-income undergraduate enrollment jumped 7.0% at public universities and 7.5% at KCTCS from fall 2023 and 2024. However, enrollment of low-income students is still below pre-pandemic levels. Note that low-income data lags a year behind other metrics, and that no financial aid data is collected from AIKCU institutions.  \n4-Year Publics  \n29,655  \n2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 2023  \n5-Year Change: -4.7%  \n1-Year Change: +7.0%  \n2-Year Publics  \n30,413 29,700  \n2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 2023  \n5-Year Change: -10.8%  \n1-Year Change: +7.5%  \nAdult Undergraduate  \nUndergraduate enrollment among working-age adults (25-64) ticked up following several consecutive years of declines.
