Postsecondary Education: Enrollment, Finance, Employees, and Academic Libraries


The percent of revenues that postsecondary institutions received from tuition and fees in 2017-18 varied greatly depending on the type of institution.

According to new data released today by the National Center for Education Statistics, public 4-year institutions and administrative offices received about 20 percent of their revenues from tuition and fees in Fiscal Year (FY) 2018, compared with just over 30 percent at private nonprofit entities and 95 percent at private for-profit entities.

The National Center for Education Statistics released a new data and a set of web tables today (November 26) that presents fully edited and imputed data from the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) spring 2019 collection. This collection included four survey components: Enrollment for fall 2018; Finance for fiscal year 2018; data on employees in postsecondary education for Fall 2018; and data for Academic Libraries for fiscal year 2018.

Other findings include:
  • In fall 2018, of the approximately 20.0 million students enrolled at Title IV institutions, approximately 17.0 million were undergraduates and approximately 3.0 million were enrolled as graduate students. Of the 17.0 million undergraduate students, 64 percent were enrolled in 4-year institutions, 34 percent in 2‑year institutions, and 2 percent in less-than-2-year institutions.
  • In fiscal year 2018, approximately 27 percent of expenses at public 4-year entities were for instruction, compared with approximately 41 percent at public 2-year entities and nearly 52 percent at public less-than-2-year entities.
  • Title IV institutions and administrative offices reported employing approximately 4.0 million individuals in fall 2018. Of the 4.0 million individuals, approximately 2.6 million were employed full-time and 1.4 million were employed part-time.
