Higher Education faces challenges stemming from reduced number of individuals enrolling in post-secondary education institutions. This paper focuses on this enrollment dynamic as it is occurring in Iowa. From 2006-2017 the number of full-time equivalent undergraduate students enrolled at private four-year colleges, four-year public universities and public two-year colleges in Iowa increased from 156,169 to 161,120. This represents an increase of 3.2%. However, from the peak enrollment during this period 2011-12 the total enrollments experienced through 2017 fell 17,959 from a high of 179,07; a 10.3% decrease. The impact of the reduction is not equally distributed between categories of institutions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
