2023 Higher Education Trends Report

For the last three years, through a global pandemic, we have witnessed a great reassessment going on in the United States and around the world. It’s happening on many different levels—from how we live and work to what we value in life—all with significant consequences going forward for higher education. In many ways, this time is not unlike other moments of political, cultural, and economic upheaval throughout our history and the long-lasting impact each had on colleges and universities.

Microcredentials provide a way for students to learn new technology skills and demonstrate competency without having to invest in a full degree program — and if colleges and universities don’t have a strategy for offering these programs, they risk losing market share to other institutions.


Harness The Power Of Data

Higher education institutions are facing major headwinds. Greater student expectations, declining enrollment, and an uncertain economy are pressuring colleges and universities to think critically about their operations and where to optimize for future growth and relevance. Additionally, administrators are constantly tasked with doing more with less and must make difficult decisions on where to invest when it comes to programs and university-wide initiatives.
