University ‘enrollment cliff’ rolling into Iowa

IOWA CITY — This is the highest number of high school graduates the state of Iowa is likely to see for the next two decades, a Board of Regents staffer said this week as part of his fall 2026 enrollment report . With Iowa’s long-awaited enrollment cliff beginning in 2027, local colleges and universities that rely on both in- and out-of-state enrollment will feel the double-whammy of larger declines in students from neighboring states like Illinois, Wisconsin, Missouri, and Minnesota, according to Jason Pontius, associate chief academic officer for the board. “We’re already one year into the enrollment cliff for every other state,” Pontius told regents, pointing to updated national data projecting the number of high school graduates in Iowa will decline 9% between now and 2041. The percentages in neighboring states: 29% in Illinois, 16% in Wisconsin, 14% in Missouri, and 13% in Minnesota. This fall’s combined enrollment across Iowa’s three public universities reached 71,520 — which was down half a percentage point from last fall’s 71,872 and 11% from a decade ago.
