Enrollment is shifting hard toward computing & AI
The move into tech majors is steep and sustained:
- ✓Bachelor's degrees in computer & information sciences more than doubled in a decade, from 51,696 (2013-14) to 112,720 (2022-23) - the largest year-over-year growth of any top-10 major, even as total U.S. bachelor's earners fell 3.0% (National Student Clearinghouse / NCES IPEDS, 2024).
- ✓Computing enrollment has risen 16 years straight; the 2024 CRA Taulbee Survey reported new-student enrollment up 9.9% (Computing Research Association, 2025).
- ✓New standalone AI bachelor's programs more than doubled from 90 to 193 between 2024 and 2025.
Students are reconsidering majors because of AI
AI is now a factor in the choice itself:
- ✓47% of college students have given at least a fair amount of thought to changing their major because of AI, and 16% of currently enrolled students say they already have (men 21% vs women 12%) (Gallup-Lumina Foundation, 2026; fielded Oct 2025, n=6,010).
- ✓About 42% of prospective students say AI will influence which career they pursue; ~10% have already changed their planned major over AI (Gallup-Lumina, 2026).
- ✓In 2024, 51% of recent graduates said generative AI had them second-guessing their career choice, and 39% feared it could replace them (Cengage Group, 2024).
AI-exposed vs AI-proof fields - and the entry-level market
Where AI hits hardest is becoming clearer:
- ✓Microsoft Research ranked the most AI-exposed roles as interpreters / translators, writers, historians, customer-service and sales reps, and software developers - work tied to writing, analysis, and information-gathering majors (2025).
- ✓The least-exposed (most AI-proof) are hands-on roles: nursing assistants, phlebotomists, skilled trades, and equipment operators - pointing students toward nursing, allied-health, and the trades (Microsoft Research / CNBC, 2025).
- ✓The entry-level squeeze is real: a Stanford study found employment for 22-25-year-olds in AI-exposed jobs down ~13% since late 2022 (software + customer-service entry roles down ~20%), and grad unemployment (22-27) hit 5.8% in early 2025, a four-year high (Stanford 2025; NY Fed 2025).
