Higher Education Enrollment Projections - Spencer C. Pratt ( PDF)

The Utah State Board of Regents recently adopted enrollment projections for the eight colleges and universities in the Utah System of Higher Education (USHE) through the 2024-2025 academic year.  The projection indicates that the actual 2013-2014 annualized student FTE level of 127,843 will increase by an overall average of 2.7% per year through 2024-2025, resulting in a total of 170,912 FTE students (see figure below for details).  This represents an 11-year increase of 43,069 students.  This increase is approximately the same number of the current number of FTE students at Utah Valley University and Salt Lake Community College combined.

While the USHE annual growth rate is fairly constant, it does vary between institutions.  The projected annual growth rate at Salt Lake Community College is 1% and the rate at the University of Utah is projected at 1.3%.  Snow College's projected rate is 6.6% and Utah Valley University's is 5%.
