Art & Science Group found that the share of students who decided against a college based entirely on its home state’s politics rose to 34% this summer.

The latest iteration of the Art & Science Group poll finds that more students on both the left and the right are ruling out institutions based on the political climate of their states.

Art & Science Group, a higher-education consultancy firm, found that about a third of such students dismiss schools solely on political grounds during the college-search process.

One in three school seniors ruled out applying to a prospective college because of the political environment where it was located, according to a new poll by the Art & Science Group, a higher education consulting firm.

Post-secondary institutions are recruiting in a market that feels materially different than the past decade.

A new survey of college-bound students found diversity, equity and inclusion programs and policies are not driving school choices, but the "conceptual benefits" of DEI-related efforts are strongly supported among the new crop of freshmen.

Art & Science Group, a consulting firm that works with nonprofit educational institutions, surveyed high schoolers, both bound for college and those who decided to skip more school.

A recent survey reinforces the fact that the political climate of a state can impact whether prospective students decide to enroll at colleges there.

These campuses are also more likely than other kinds of institutions to enroll students from lower-income families and who are the first in their families to go to college, the Baltimore-based Art & Science Group consulting firm found.
