BRAIN DRAIN?

The number of freshman leaving North Carolina to attend a four-year college out of state more than doubled from 1998 to 2014. Though most states saw increases in the number of freshmen leaving for out-of-state schools, only six others — including Texas and California — saw exoduses as large as North Carolina's.

Is North Carolina looking at a crisis? Probably not.

North Carolina's share of freshman staying in-state for college has declined slowly and slightly — from 89 percent in 1998 to 80 percent in 2014. Only 12 states kept a higher percentage of its freshmen at home than North Carolina.

Also in 2014, North Carolina’s public and private universities attracted nearly 13,400 college freshmen from other states — 11th most in the nation.

That same year, 8,600 North Carolina freshmen enrolled in an out-of-state college. That works out to a net gain for North Carolina of about 4,800 new college students — better than 37 other states.

VIRTUALLY OUT OF STATE

Aggressive recruitment is a big reason for the uptick in the number of North Carolina students going to college outside the state. But there’s another big factor: online universities.

In 2004, according to federal data presented by the Chronicle of Higher Education, Strayer University in Washington, D.C., was the only online college that reported significant numbers of North Carolina freshman — 232 that year.

By 2012, the number of North Carolina freshmen enrolling in online colleges had increased tenfold to roughly 2,100. That number includes 224 students at Liberty University, which operates a huge online education program. (Roughly 40 percent of Liberty’s new North Carolina students are enrolled in the online program.)

Two years later, that number had declined to about 1,600 as several of these for-profit schools closed or scaled back operations.

Popular online choices for N.C. freshmen in 2014 were American Public University, whose students are largely active-duty military and veterans; Kaplan University, most of which was acquired in April by Purdue University; and Full Sail University, which specializes in video, music and film production.
