30 Million Students by 2030: Growing Higher Ed

Description:

Enrollment has fallen across the country and institutions are under financial strain in the wake of COVID-19. Even before the pandemic the higher education system was facing major challenges: fewer traditional students, increasing competition, and escalating costs. Is a shakeout inevitable? How does higher education actually grow its market and seize the biggest opportunity out there: working learners? This is key both to the future of postsecondary education and for social mobility.
