2021 survey of college and University Admissions Directors

Inside Higher Ed has partnered with Hanover Research to develop and disseminate a survey to college and university enrollment officers to understand how they view enrollment trends and challenges facing higher education in the U.S. this year.

This survey was administered online in August of 2021 using the Qualtrics platform.
