Undergraduate enrollment is down, but motivated students are finding a way to advance their education with rigorous courses and exams

According to data from National Student Clearinghouse, undergraduate enrollment declined by nearly 3 percent this spring, following a similar drop last fall.

While college admissions may be down at most universities overall, graduate school enrollments are up significantly.
