Metro Atlanta has ranked seventh in enrolled college students among the top 50 largest American metros, according to a report published Tuesday by the Atlanta Regional Council for Higher Education (ARCHE).
The “Higher Education in America’s Metropolitan Areas” report shows metro Atlanta has 176,171 full-time students, is seventh in degrees earned with 35,802 at the bachelor’s level or higher and is fifth in research with $1.01 billion in higher education spending. The area is also third in black students with 47,548.
Higher education here is also responsible for $6 billion in direct spending, comparable to a Fortune 500 company.
“Only five U.S. metro areas topped $1 billion in higher education research spending, and Atlanta was one of them,” said Sam A. Williams, president of the Metro Atlanta Chamber of Commerce. “And our colleges are booming when it comes to grads in strategic fields like engineering, bioscience and foreign languages. That is a huge advantage for businesses here – and for those who might want to set up shop here.”
ARCHE says Atlanta’s rate of growth leads other top higher ed centers in the nation and outpaces population growth in the region. Student enrollment in metro Atlanta is growing at a faster rate than in any top U.S. higher ed center — up 62 percent since 1989. In terms of degrees awarded, the area’s growth rate was no. 2 among top higher ed centers — up 75 percent since 1989. This 62 percent enrollment increase and 75 percent rise in degrees outpace the 55 percent growth in the area’s population during the same 1989 to 2005 period.
According to ARCHE, metro Atlanta’s college and universities give the region a competitive edge in fields that support business growth. Metro Atlanta the no. 1 increase among all metro areas in the number of degrees awarded in enegineering, the no. 2 increase in bioscience degrees, no. 3 increase in computer science degrees, no. 4 increase in foreign language degrees, and no. 6 increase in business degrees.
