Colombian Higher Education Student Enrollment by Program, Modality, and Schedule

Colombian higher education data on student counts across admission and enrollment stages. The dataset includes figures for students who applied, were admitted, were first-time enrollees, and total enrollees, broken down by academic program, modality, methodology, and schedule. It is sourced from the Colombian open data portal, datos.gov.co, and was last updated on May 18, 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze admission selectivity by comparing Inscrito (applied) and Admitido (admitted) counts for specific Programas por modalidad, metodologia y jornada.
• Track first-year student intake over time by analyzing Primiparo (first-time enrollee) figures across different Periodo (periods).
• Calculate total enrollment rates by examining Matriculado (total enrolled) numbers segmented by program modality and schedule.
• Model program capacity and demand by correlating Inscrito, Admitido, and Matriculado columns for specific academic programs.

Strengths

• Data is structured with specific columns for different enrollment stages (Inscrito, Admitido, Primiparo, Matriculado).
• Provides breakdowns by multiple dimensions: program, modality, methodology, and schedule.
• Last updated on 2026-05-18, suggesting recent maintenance.
