Higher education is changing dramatically amid the COVID-19 pandemic, and institutions are tasked with finding a new way forward.
Many institutions have seen declining enrollment numbers driven by a large number of freshman choosing to defer enrollment and many international students unable to return to campus.
In response, many institutions made significant adjustments. Through the summer, some dipped further into their waitlists to boost enrollment. Others are making changes to program offerings and curriculum requirements to ensure on-time graduation. Universities have had to invest in technology to support remote learning and operations even as they’re challenged by already reduced budgets.
