· KRGV (NBC 5)
Texas community colleges have faced declining enrollment for the past 15 years, as many high school graduates choose to enter the workforce directly. However, a recent report from the Federal Reserve of Dallas indicates a slight recovery, with current enrollment at approximately 700,000 students, down from 750,000 15 years ago. The report highlights an increase in dual credit courses and short-term credentials aimed at attracting students. Despite challenges, student outcomes have improved, suggesting a shift in the higher education landscape. The state also revamped its funding model in 2023 to focus on student success rather than enrollment numbers.
