What problem are you working on?
Is college worth the cost?
Are your programs relevant in today’s economy?
Are you equipping students with knowledge and skills that employers actually need?
Students, parents, businesses, and politicians need confidence that your programs prepare students for good careers. At the same time, higher education is about more than job preparation. It’s about developing well-rounded people, not just skilled employees. But can you do both? Yes, you can.
Your institution
Relevant. Valued. Trusted.
Your graduates
Trained to do a particular career.
Educated to lead in any career.
