The following page is from a College Board Report on Student Debt:

Of course, one of the factors in this decline has been the closure of several of the largest for-profit chains with dozens of campuses nationwide and the dramatic decline in enrollment at the major online for-profit institutions. So, although the total annual debt has declined, the average debt per student has continued to increase, as has the total cumulative debt and its economic impact.
