National Data Fact Sheets on First-generation College Students and Graduates

The fact sheets presented below provide information about first-generation college students’ demographic characteristics, enrollment characteristics, experiences during the early covid-19 pandemic, and post-graduation experiences..

ABOUT THE PROJECT

FIRST-GENERATION COLLEGE STUDENTS IN 2020

FIRST-GENERATION COLLEGE STUDENTS’ EXPERIENCES DURING THE EARLY COVID-19 PANDEMIC

EMPLOYMENT, FINANCES, AND ADDITIONAL EDUCATION

EXPERIENCES DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC: 2020 TO 2021

As of 2020, 54 percent of undergraduate students in the United States identified as first-generation, defined as an undergraduate student whose parents do not have a bachelor’s degree. The fact sheets presented below provide information about first-generation college students’ demographic characteristics, enrollment characteristics, and experiences during the early COVID-19 pandemic. Many of the findings draw comparisons to the National Data Fact Sheets from 2019 .

Surveyed students were enrolled in Title IV eligible postsecondary institutions in the academic year 2019–20. The data source is the 2019–20 National Postsecondary Student Aid Study (NPSAS:20) from the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), U.S. Department of Education. The number of survey respondents was about 81,000, representing a population of 17.1 million undergraduate students. When considering how the statistics in these fact sheets may relate to the students at your institution, please read the footnotes for important information, including definitions of key terms and the data source. The average profile of students at your institution may be very different from the national sample of undergraduates used for these fact sheets.

The third and fourth fact sheets provide statistics about the four-year post-graduation experiences of individuals who earned a bachelor’s degree from a Title IV postsecondary institution in the academic year 2015–16. The data source is the 2016/20 Baccalaureate and Beyond Longitudinal Study (B&B:16/20) from NCES. B&B:16/20 was released in 2023 and is the most recent cohort and wave of B&B. The number of survey respondents was about 17,160. The weighted sample size (population size) is about 2 million. First-wave data about the same cohort of college graduates are available in the National Data Fact Sheets from 2021 .

In all four fact sheets, the race/ethnicity categories are mutually exclusive. NASPA recognizes that each racial identity is defined by diverse populations. While aggregation is a useful tool to understand patterns, there are opportunities for continued study to disaggregate the data further. “AI, AN, NH, or PI” is short for American Indian, Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian, or other Pacific Islander. Percentages are rounded.

These fact sheets were produced for the Center for First-generation Student Success by RTI International , an independent, nonprofit research institute. The suggested citation for each fact sheet is provided below.

About the Project

The Center for First-generation Student Success and the Crimsonbridge Foundation continue to collaborate and create original research. After releasing the National Data Fact Sheets on First-generation College Graduates and Career Preparation , the partner organizations sought to review data from the earliest months of the pandemic and publish findings influencing the ways colleges and universities support first-generation college students in light of the global pandemic from 2020. The resources developed by the Center enable philanthropy and other key stakeholders to be effective and informed partners in advancing student success work.

According to an announcement posted on the Presentation College website, students will not be enrolled in the 2023-24 academic year and operations at the Aberdeen campus will cease after the spring and summer 2023 sessions.

Three Teach-Out Agreements with other higher educational institutions are in place, which provide complete credit acceptance and comparable net tuition costs for current students. These agreements are with St. Ambrose University in Davenport, Iowa; University of Mary in Bismarck, N.D.; and and Olivet College in Olivet, Michigan.

St. Ambrose University and Presentation also announced plans last week to offer as an online program, Presentation's Bachelor of Science in Nursing program, a pathway for nursing students. This online program will become the Nano Nagle Online School of Nursing at St. Ambrose in honor of Nano Nagle who founded the Sisters of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary of Aberdeen.

Presentation employees will have staggered end dates

According to the release employees are being provided staggered end dates and final compensation based on their responsibilities.

Presentation Sisters founded the College in 1951 to fulfill its mission of rural health care and service through nursing education. The College later expanded to include academic programs in Health and Natural Sciences, and Social Science and Humanities, to support its mission of development of the whole person, in the Catholic tradition. Presentation Sisters have continuously sponsored the College and retained ownership of the campus land with the College as a separate nonprofit.

"After careful evaluation of the sustainability of the College’s academic programs, and a thorough review of alternatives, the Board of Trustees and Presentation Sisters reluctantly decided to close the physical campus and implement Teach-Out programs as the most responsible way to steward students’ pathways to completing their degrees,” Sister Mary Thomas, president of the Presentation Sisters Corporate Board said in the news release. “We understand and share the heartbreak by our students, faculty, staff, alumni, and Aberdeen community, and we will work closely with them to succeed through this transition.”  

Presentation is hosting a Teach-Out/career fair Jan. 30-31 to assist students and faculty with their transitions to other institutions, according to the release. Presentation is also bringing independent academic coaches from College Possible to campus to assist students with their individual plans. A job fair will also be organized later this spring to help staff explore future employment opportunities.

Discussion about the campus' future started before the COVID pandemic

Just before the COVID pandemic in 2020, the College, the Board of Trustees, and the Corporate Board of the Presentation Sisters embarked on a year-long process of examining data and market impacts, engaging constituent groups to better understand the financial health of the College and its potential for growing enrollment to achieve sustainability. Its rural location, difficult for many out-of-state students to access, was already a known factor, along with a significant dependency on tuition revenue and gifts. The impact of COVID exacerbated the College’s challenges. 

“The College explored and brought to the boards numerous partnership options over the last year, resulting in their selection of St. Ambrose University for continuing the Online BSN programs,” said Paula Langteau, president of Presentation College in the release.

Presentation's nursing program is going online

Last week Presentation and St. Ambrose. University announced the creation of the Nano Nagle Online School of Nursing.

“As previously announced, St. Ambrose University’s state-of-the-art nursing program is a natural fit with Presentation to create the Nano Nagle Online School of Nursing, ensuring the legacies of the College and the Presentation Sisters,” Langteau said in the release. “SAU also will serve as one of a number of Teach-Out Partners for other majors. It is important to us that every student has multiple, comparable options to complete their chosen degrees on time and without an increased financial investment.”

How will the teach-out partnerships work

According to information on the Presentation College website, the teach-out agreements guarantee admission to St. Ambrose University in Davenport, Iowa; University of Mary in Bismarck, N.D.; and and Olivet College in Olivet, Mich.

Students are also guaranteed tuition that is equal to or less than Presentation and students are guaranteed to complete the programs at the same time they would have completed them at Presentation.

Olivet College has a D-III athletic program and is part of the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association. University of Mary has a D-II athletic program and is part of the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference. St. Ambrose University is part of the Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference.

How are college costs adding up these days and how much has tuition risen? Graphics explain

College decision day is closing in and many prospective students are making commitments to their university of choosing. With that commitment comes an enrollment deposit – one of many fees students will pay in the next four years.

Of the more than 60,000 high school graduates, 64% will go on to enroll in two- or four-year college programs. Many will incur debt and join the already 43.5 million Americans who have student loans.

Last year, President Joe Biden's student debt cancellation plan was struck down by the Supreme court. Now he's proposing a workaround that could cancel the loans of more than four million borrowers, according to the White House . In addition, more than 10 million borrowers could get $5,000 in debt relief.

Whether or not the new proposal works, many college students will be paying nearly two-fold what their parents paid for an undergraduate education 20 years earlier. According to the Education Data Initiative, the average cost of college tuition and fees at public four-year institutions has risen 179.2% over the last two decades.

How much does college tuition cost?

The average cost of an undergraduate degree ranges from  $25,707 to over $218,000 , according to the Education Data Initiative. The price varies and depends on whether a student lives on campus and the institution they're attending.

According to the most recent data from the Education Department, the average tuition at a four-year private nonprofit university increased 14% between the fall of 2010 and fall of 2021.

Chart shows rise in cost of 4-year college

In 2023, the average full time student at a four-year college spent nearly $31,000 on their tuition fees, room and board for the year. That number is more than double amount paid for the same education in the 1960s, adjusted for inflation in 2022-2023 dollars.

Why is college tuition rising?

The demand for a college education is going up – at the same time government funding for postsecondary education is on the decline, according to Bankrate.

The personal finance website pointed out several key areas that have lead to an increase in tuition costs:

• The cost of operation is increasing, due to rising inflation. The inflation rate increased 3.5% between March 2023 and 2024, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. With rising inflation comes increased cost of living. Universities must pay highly educated professors more to keep up with rising living costs.
• A reduction in state funding led to increased tuition costs, according to the National Education Association. An analysis from NEA found that state funding for higher education decreased in 37 states by an average of 6% between 2020 and 2021.
• Colleges are spending more on administrative services: A 2021 study found that between 2010 and 2018, spending on student services and administration grew by 29% and 19% respectively.

Some universities are already estimating the cost of attendance for the 2024-2025 academic year to be nearly $100,000.
