UA Adjusts Enrollment for Smarter Growth

Arizona’s flagship university faces a slight dip in tuition revenue and enrollment, but leaders say it’s part of a deliberate strategy to build “right-sized” classes by prioritizing in-state and need-based students. Merit aid for out-of-state students is being cut, aligning with national trends of students staying closer to home and fewer international applicants. Meanwhile, the Health Sciences unit is being restructured, leading to 28 layoffs, while investments surge in high-demand fields like nursing and medical education. Despite overall revenue declines, operating costs are falling, and student support services are being bolstered to improve retention and graduation rates — all while keeping college fund balances healthy.
