Postsecondary Enrollment, Finance, Academic Libraries, and Employees at Postsecondary Institutions.

The percent of revenues that postsecondary institutions received from tuition and fees in 2016-17 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 21 percent of their revenues from tuition and fees in Fiscal Year (FY) 2017, compared with just over 30 percent at private nonprofit entities and just over 92 percent at private for-profit entities.  This collection of data includes four survey components: Enrollment for fall 2017; Finance for fiscal year 2017; data on employees in postsecondary education for Fall 2017; and data for Academic Libraries for fiscal year 2017. Other findings include: In fall 2017, of the approximately 20.1 million students enrolled at Title IV institutions, approximately 17.1 million were undergraduates and approximately 3.0 million were enrolled as graduate students. Of the 17.1 million undergraduate students, 63 percent were enrolled in 4-year institutions, 35 percent in 2‑year institutions, and 1 percent in less-than-2-year institutions. In fiscal year approximately 28 percent of expenses at public 4-year entities were for instruction, compared with approximately 42 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 2017. Of the 4.0 million individuals, approximately 2.6 million were employed full-time and 1.4 million were employed part-time.
