This hour-long webinar will discuss the latest trends about the future of higher education.
Participants will learn:
- How shifts in high-school graduates will alter the college-going landscape
- Whether students will continue to flock to U.S. colleges from overseas
- How to separate the hype from reality when it comes to technology
- The future for state investment in higher education
