"As currently designed, the traditional three-year bachelor’s pathway is simply not realistic for most. But as of April, new bachelor’s programs in the market—those that truncate credit requirements instead of just time—seek to shake up the three-year bachelor’s degree." We love how this week's #EVWakeUpCall highlights one university's innovative approach to putting students first with a unique three-year bachelor's degree. ⤵
There is no time like the present for higher education leaders to think outside of the box—the right path forward isn’t necessarily the way things have always been done. Higher education is under tremendous pressure. Looming demographic shortfalls, stagnant participation rates, declining value perception, questions over outcomes, and pressure on the degree wealth premium merge to create an unprecedented wave of challenges pointing to the need for real product innovation. Is a three-year bachelor’s degree the right tool to help meet the moment? Time will tell. But it does showcase an attempt to lessen the cost of higher education in a real, tangible way. The approach may not be for everyone, but it could become one of many offerings designed to meet the diverse needs of students. Check out this week's #EVWakeUpCall to learn more about how three-year bachelor's degrees are changing the landscape: 🌡 The Three-Year Bachelor’s Degree Experiment Heats Up https://lnkd.in/gDafynaD #highered #highereducation #highereducationleadership #enrollmentmanagement #programinnovation #bachelorsdegree #studentsuccess #enrollmentmarketing

"Here are a few things you can do to strengthen your institution’s brand image for Gen Alpha: 👩👦 Bolster your family recruitment strategy. Parents will have even greater influence on Gen Alpha than Gen Z. Make sure parents and families have great experiences on your campus and a good perception of your brand. 🏫 Systematically evaluate your brand strength—and how you communicate it to your market. Alphas mirror their parents’ brand preferences. The reputation of your institution will matter even more in years to come. 🤳 Foster online brand ambassadors and influencers. Online influencers pick up where parents leave off. Help shape the conversation about your institution by working directly with your influencers, and don’t be afraid to give up creative control. Alphas will care more about authenticity than your carefully curated narrative. " Check out more strategies for engaging Gen Alpha in this week's #EVWakeUpCall! #enrollmentmanagment #emchat #enrollmentmarketing #genalpha #highered #highereducation #highereducationleadership #digitalmarketing
Generation Alpha, defined as those born between 2010 and 2024, is still very young, but marketers have eagerly begun examining their behaviors, values, and spending habits. Here are three defining characteristics of Gen Alpha and how they may impact recruiting: #1. It is the most diverse generation thus far. #2. It is even more digital-forward than Gen Z. #3. It acquires brand awareness through influencers—and parents. Check out this week's #EVWakeUpCall to read what we believe these characteristics mean for colleges and universities. https://lnkd.in/gfKe4U6s

When promoting your college's brand to prospective students, put the emphasis on quality outcomes more than reputation. Here’s what to consider as you develop your market position: 💡 “Quality” and “challenge” are top-most in students’ minds. 💪 In almost all instances, “rigor” and “reputation” should play a supporting role. 🗨 Use Prospective Student Mindsets™ to tell your story better.

"In terms of consumer sentiment, instructional innovation, and emerging competition, the next few years will be decisive for Coursera, edX, and Udemy."
Ten years ago, MOOC-era platform companies like Coursera, edX (part of 2U), and Udemy looked set to change online higher education forever. Today they boast low-cost degree and non-degree programs, partnerships with the best-known universities and companies on the planet, and hundreds of millions of learners (boosted further by the pandemic). A 2023 Eduventures report acknowledged their achievements, but sounded a note of caution, citing low conversion rates, modest revenue-per-student, lack of profits, and a limited student experience. One year on, how are these big three platform companies doing, and what does that tell us about the non-degree and low-cost online degree markets?
