Number of college students enrolled in distance education U.S. 2022, by institution

In the fall of 2022, about 7.5 million students were enrolled in at least one distance education course from a public postsecondary institution in the United States. This is compared to around 792,800 students who were enrolled in distance education courses from private, for profit institutions.
