This fall, the number of students majoring in computer and information sciences at U.S. universities has seen a substantial decrease, with undergraduate enrollment dropping by over 12% and graduate enrollment falling by more than 10%. This continues a previous downward trend, despite years of consistent growth in enrollment for this major. Driven by the rise of artificial intelligence and companies cutting junior programming positions, computer science graduates are facing increased difficulty in securing employment. Over the past two years, the number of undergraduate students majoring in computer science in the U.S. has decreased by 18.4%, while graduate students have declined by 27.1%. During the same period, overall undergraduate enrollment at U.S. universities has remained stable, with total enrollment increasing by 0.6%, marking the fourth consecutive year of growth albeit at a slower pace. Graduate enrollment has decreased by 1.6%, with master's programs experiencing a 3.7% drop. Currently, the preliminary enrollment data does not include information on international students, but relevant analyses indicate a continuous decline in international student enrollment. Enrollment of international students among new students in the fall of 2025 has decreased by 17%, and applications to U.S. universities from abroad have dropped by approximately 10% this year, marking the largest decline in at least a decade. The final report, which will include data on international students, is expected to be released in January next year. U.S. community colleges have emerged as a bright spot, with a slight increase of 1.2% in undergraduate enrollment. Affordability of tuition is one of the key factors influencing students' choice of non-traditional educational pathways.
