Camden County's nine universities admitted an estimated 77% of applicants for fall 2022, according to the National Center for Education Statistics. Of those who were admitted, 6% enrolled.

Of the nine institutions in the county, Rutgers University-Camden was the only one that provided detailed enrollment data at the time.

At least 11,145 people applied to Camden County colleges in the 2022-23 school year.

NCES data shows that among them, around 15,778 students enrolled in the universities, including 13,997 in undergraduate and 1,781 in graduate programs. In total 6% of undergraduates transferred from another college or university.

The reported undergraduate student body is comprised mostly of white (37.6%) and Black or African American (22.2%) students.

Among the institutions that provided disclosed enrollment data, Camden County College stood out with the largest enrollment at the time, welcoming 7,770 students.

U.S. college enrollment has been in a downward trend since peaking at around 18.1 million students in 2010. Recent increases offered some relief, but experts project a steeper decline in 2025.

This decline is likely due to two main factors. First, the pool of young adults is shrinking as birth rates have fallen nearly 23% between 2007 and 2022. Second, the rising cost of higher education, including skyrocketing student loan debt. A 2023 Wall Street Journal report shows that more than half of Americans think a four-year degree is not worth the cost.

Some educational data is based on estimates. Shifting demographics among student populations can sometimes result in gender totals which do not equal 100%.
