"A Public Policy Institute of California report released this month found that the share of college-bound California high school graduates enrolling in out-of-state colleges has nearly doubled in the last two decades, rising from 8.5% in 2002 to 14.6% in 2022. West Coast and Southwest colleges in particular seek out students in population-rich California in their recruitment efforts. Making the move more enticing is that many public universities participate in a program offering Californians discounted tuition at public colleges in the West."
"In 2022, nearly 40,000 California high school grads enrolled in out-of-state colleges, roughly a third of whom flocked to Arizona, Oregon or New York, the researchers found in their analysis of enrollment data from the National Center for Education Statistics. In 2002, the number was closer to 15,000. In Arizona, the most popular universities included Arizona State University, Grand Canyon University - known for its online programs - and the University of Arizona. Oregon State University drew the highest number of Californians in that state."
The proportion of college-bound California high school graduates going out of state rose substantially between 2002 and 2022, from 8.5% to 14.6%. In 2022 nearly 40,000 California grads enrolled in out-of-state colleges, up from about 15,000 in 2002. Roughly one-third of those students attended institutions in Arizona, Oregon or New York. West Coast and Southwest colleges actively recruit in California, and many public universities offer discounted tuition to Californians through a regional program. Popular destinations include large public universities in Arizona and Oregon and smaller, competitive private liberal arts colleges in New York.
