Undergraduate enrollment captures the total unduplicated number of students who enroll in an undergraduate program offered by one of Kentucky's public colleges or universities in an academic year, either full-time or part-time. Enrollment is a leading indicator, meaning that it provides an early indication of future degree production and educational attainment levels. After declines caused by the global pandemic, enrollment has nearly returned to pre-COVID levels. Enrollment goals for URM students are established as a percentage of the overall student population and not as a numeric value (see pages 36-37, DEI metrics). Low-income enrollment data for fall 2023 is not yet available and will be reported next year.
