US computer science enrollment drops 18% in two years
US computer science enrollment has fallen by 18% over two years, according to preliminary fall enrollment trend data from the National Student Clearinghouse Research Center. The decline marks a sharp reversal after years of growth in the field, and is prompting debate about whether students are turning away from tech careers amid layoffs, AI uncertainty and a cooling job market for graduates.
Why now: The scale of the drop surprises people given tech's long popularity, and it fuels debate about AI's impact on the value of a computer science degree.
