Brief Excerpt from Industry Overview Chapter:
In the US, nearly 4,000 degree-granting colleges and universities receive combined annual revenue over $200 billion: 60 percent of industry revenue goes to state-operated public schools, 40 percent to private. While some large public universities have more than 100,000 students and budgets over $1 billion, 40 percent have fewer than 1,000 students and annual revenue below $20 million.
About 1,700 schools are publicly funded, another 1,700 are private nonprofit institutions, and 600 are operated on a for-profit basis. Close to 80 percent of students are enrolled in public schools. Mainly because of big state universities, the industry is highly concentrated: 50 percent of all students are enrolled in the 400 largest schools. About 60 percent of students (including graduate students) are enrolled in four-year schools, 40 percent are in two-year (junior or community) colleges.
COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE
Demand for higher education services is largely driven by population dynamics, but also by employers' requirements. The financial success of schools is closely related to the number of students enrolled, because many costs are fixed. Public schools have the advantage of public funding and are typically larger than private schools. Small schools can compete effectively by providing a superior education.
PRODUCTS, OPERATIONS & TECHNOLOGY
Colleges and universities provide educational instruction leading to the granting of a degree that testifies to the student's competence. Many also provide room and board for students and a variety of other services.
