SYRACUSE, N.Y. — Syracuse University says it will not meet its undergraduate enrollment target for fall, resulting in a budget deficit for the upcoming fiscal year.
University officials say the shortfall is due to a nationwide decline in college enrollment and fewer international applications. Officials also say presidents and chancellors from other institutions nationwide have been experiencing similar issues.
“In conversations with presidents and chancellors at peer institutions nationwide, I hear the same themes: enrollment volatility is widespread, unpredictable and the “new normal” for even strong, well-resourced universities,” the university said on its website.
Syracuse is now working to strengthen recruitment for the fall 2027 cycle, with multiple campus departments collaborating on new strategies.
