Description
The change in higher education's competitive landscape has become a challenge for colleges and universities across the country. Institutions struggle to match revenues with expenditures, while simultaneously trying to cope with lower net revenue per student, rising labor costs, evolving consumer behaviors, and shifting student demographics. As a result, institutions are forced to address critical business model issues. Too often, liberal arts institutions get stuck in a survival mindset, trying to keep above water with day-to-day challenges. To reach sustainable prosperity, liberal arts institutions need to rely on creativity and innovation in order to find opportunities for growth. This conversation will outline key business model issues and major trends in the future of higher education.
