Of the 10 institutions in the county, three provided detailed enrollment data at the time, including Capitol Technology University, Bowie State University and University of Maryland-College Park.
At least 62,464 people applied to Prince George's County colleges in the 2022-23 school year.

Among the institutions that provided disclosed enrollment data, University of Maryland Global Campus stood out with the largest enrollment at the time, welcoming 55,838 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.
NCES shows that enrollment data was not available for Denver Seminary - Washington DC in Prince George's County.
Some educational data is based on estimates. Shifting demographics among student populations can sometimes result in gender totals which do not equal 100%.
