Opening fall enrollment trends for New Jersey colleges and universities for 1985 and 1986 are reported in narrative and statistical form. Fall undergraduate and post-baccalaureate full-time and part-time enrollments are presented by sector and for specific state colleges and universities, community colleges, and private colleges. A 1.5% decline in total full-time enrollment occurred (a 1.4% decline for undergraduates and a 2.1% decline for post-baccalaureates). The decline in the number of full-time undergraduates reflects a continuation of trends. The number of public high school graduates declined by 3.4%, while the number of college-bound high school seniors declined by less than one percent (.7%). There was a 1.4% increase in part-time enrollments (undergraduate enrollment increased by 1.7%, while post-baccalaureate enrollment remained stable). The growth in part-time undergraduates is attributed primarily to the community college sector. Post-baccalaureate enrollment remained stable because a decline for the private sector was negated by increases in the public sectors. (SW)
