Of the 24 institutions in the county, seven provided detailed enrollment data at the time, including The Christ College of Nursing and Health Sciences, University of Cincinnati-Main Campus and Gods Bible School and College.
At least 47,000 people applied to Hamilton County colleges in the 2022-23 school year.
NCES data shows that among them, around 69,472 students enrolled in the universities, including 55,676 in undergraduate and 13,796 in graduate programs. Only 4.8% of undergraduates transferred from another college or university.
The reported undergraduate student body is comprised mostly of white (67%) and Black or African American (13.1%) students.
Among the institutions that provided disclosed enrollment data, University of Cincinnati-Main Campus stood out with the largest enrollment at the time, welcoming 41,155 students.
U.S. college enrollment has been in a downward trend since peaking at around 18.1 million students in 2010. Recent increases offered some relief, but experts project a steeper decline in 2025.
This decline is likely due to two main factors. First, the pool of young adults is shrinking as birth rates have fallen nearly 23% between 2007 and 2022. Second, the rising cost of higher education, including skyrocketing student loan debt. A 2023 Wall Street Journal report shows that more than half of Americans think a four-year degree is not worth the cost.
NCES shows that enrollment data was not available for two institutions in Hamilton County, including Cincinnati School of Medical Massage and Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion-Cincinnati.
Some educational data is based on estimates. Shifting demographics among student populations can sometimes result in gender totals which do not equal 100%.
