The National Center for Education Statistics reported a 1.7% drop in Title IV institutions, highlighting the ongoing trend of college closures impacting federal financial aid.
While the NCES report noted the decline in Title IV institutions, it omitted details on closures and mergers, leaving the causes of shrinkage somewhat unclear.
Data reveals 161 institutions have lost Title IV status through closures or mergers, yet the net loss was lessened by the addition of 62 new institutions.
The only segment of higher education showing growth is public four-year institutions, primarily due to two-year colleges transitioning to four-year status.
