Predictions regarding the state of higher education for the 2025 academic year are being closely assessed. Institutions are investing in digital tools to enhance online learning and lower costs compared to traditional on-campus learning. The growing demand for online degrees allows for increased revenue without the need to incorporate infrastructure costs. Another area of interest is the implementation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to assist with simplifying the transfer process and enhance pedagogical learning. Recently, Gen Z’s showed greater interest in blue collar jobs that provide them with an alternative career path. Also, students are more closely examining the return on investment (ROI) and the overall value of their education.
