The Almanac of Higher Education, 2024

The Almanac of Higher Education, 2024

Before building the Almanac each year, we do a thorough inventory of all the tables we plan to include. While aiming for a certain level of consistency — we want the data to be useful to you year over year — we’re also striving to refine and improve the Almanac. Within these 128 pages, you will see many familiar tables and a few revamped ones. As always, the Data Points section is a new selection of data pages from the past year of our team’s exhaustive data reporting. A highlight of that section comes from the results of our survey of more than 1,000 Americans on the public perception of higher education, which paints a surprising and nuanced picture.

In the 2024-25 Almanac, after the opening Data Points, you will move through data on student characteristics, student aid and debt, work-force characteristics, work-force compensation, institutional characteristics, and institutional finance. Things wrap up with our detailed overview of the states.
