The Great Depression in the 1930s had a profound impact on U.S. higher education， which was mainly presented through the followings. In colleges and universities， the number of students reduced and their options changed， and schools’ revenues slumped. To alleviate the impact of depression on higher education， the government adopted a series of measures， such as increasing the funding for education and students’ financial assistance schemes， and so on， which had achieved very good results. Currently， the financial crisis caused by the United States is increasingly spreading， therefore， a systematic summary of the impacts on higher education of the financial crisis and measures adopted by the government will be helpful for the development of our higher education.
