Enrollment Trends

Enrollment patterns provide critical insight into Carroll College’s ability to attract, retain, and serve students in a rapidly evolving educational landscape. In alignment with our mission to deliver a transformative Catholic liberal arts education, we track enrollment across multiple dimensions, including undergraduate/graduate status, full-time/part-time enrollment, geographic origin, and program area.

For benchmarking purposes, specifically academic level data is presented alongside the same measures for our peer institutions, allowing us to see Carroll’s enrollment trends in the context of state, regional and national patterns. Such comparisons deepen our understanding of market positioning, recruitment success, and student choice behavior. This work directly supports NWCCU Standards 1.D.2 and 5.2, ensuring our planning is both data-informed and mission-driven, while enabling us to respond proactively to opportunities and challenges shared across the higher education landscape.
