New Business Model Of College Students

According to Mintel (2014), “nearly half of today’s university students report they are financially comfortable, as they have money left at the end of the month for a few treats and to save.” What about the other half? The other half of the students either have not a lot left after the basics are taken care of or having difficulties with their financial situation. Students’ average monthly expenditure on their essentials is 65% of their monthly income (Mintel, 2014). In these few years, there has been a rise of national companies giving student discounts and offers for their products or services. For example, Apple Inc. offers student discounts for their gadgets.

Data Gathering: This task consists of the gathering of spreadsheets currently used by the software management team which includes the list of software, licensing of software, and all faculty and staff computers and what software is installed on each.

Incoming freshmen experience the difficult decision of whether or not they would prefer to maintain a part-time job while attending college. For some students it may be a necessity, while for others, simply a desire. As an academic advisor, it is my job to assist the students in their growth and development by establishing meaningful educational plans which are compatible with their life goals. The student can either decide to manage working during school, or can solely focus on academics. Beginning college can be quite overwhelming, even without having a part-time job. College freshman students who are in college must consider academic, social, and psychological effects of working, in addition to whether or not it will interfere with their educational goals.

Non-credit students pay no enrollment fees and normally receive no college credit or official course grades (Barr & McClellan, 2011). Therefore, non-credit programming must be designed to sustain current market trends in a highly competitive market to substantiate its existence

Working during college is a big decision for many people. Some people have the ability to take on a bigger task in trying to balance academic success and job experience. I can relate to this issue for much, because I want to succeed in school but I also want to begin building my resume and learning on-the-job experience. I want to become more knowledgeable through the classroom material, but everyone always tells me that the best way to learn is to just go out there and do it. That is the issue for me, trying to make time for both school and work. Personally I need a lot of time to prepare for tests and exams and sometimes it is a struggle for me. I need time to prepare for school, but I still want to go out and learn through the field experience.

When students are working and attending school part-time the results can be good or bad depending on his or her life situation. Should you work or should you go to school? Doing both can be possible if you just work around your schedule and give yourself time to do your school work and attend your classes. American Association of Universal Professors states that “Students are increasingly likely to work while in college. Not only are students more likely to work, but they are more likely to work a full-time job.”

Mary Morrison is an undergraduate student at Big State University (Brown, DeHayes, Hoffer, Martin & Perkins, 2012). She is in her second year as a business major. As a business major, Mary knows that throughout her college years she will need a good word processor, spreadsheet, and presentation software. Microsoft Office Professional suite is the software that has been proposed for business students. The suite contains the required software for each of her requirements. Mary has a computer, however, she will need to purchase the Microsoft Office suite to load on it. Mary found out that college students at Big State University can purchase Microsoft office for $199.

With the rapid development of economy, there is the tendency that education has become commercialized – colleges and universities have become such business enterprises that everything is measured in terms of profits. People tend to associate education with money and believe that education can eventually bring huge profits in the long run. Nonetheless, some people are ambivalent about this phenomenon. While they asserting universities should be businessization because in the real world, everything is connected with money. At the same time, they deem the essence of education, to process of gaining knowledge, skills, and information, is twisted. If education becomes materialized, it is not only misleading but also detrimental. In Ask not what you can do for your university, but what your university can do for you, an article appeared in the UCLA Student WebZine, the author points out insightfully that the change occurred within the structure of American university system from a “high-brow institute of knowledge” to a “business enterprise”(OW 293). As a result of this shift, students “attending college view their university education not as a valuable opportunity to gain knowledge, but rather as a purchase. Undergraduates invest tuition money to attend classes and, in turn, expect to receive a degree that will then precipitate a financially successful career”(OW 293). This

While working when still in college, a person can show more responsibility, have better money management, and time management.

As a student, it is almost impossible not to ask yourself if a college education is truly worth the price. While attending a public high school, there was never a cost associated with gaining an education. Today, college can best be described as a transaction between a college and its students. Due to the fact that a college education is not free, college students are indeed considered consumers.

Three years later, the software had been adapted to the Educational Sphere, and Dan was in the process of marketing it to Institutions across the country, using the local Edenvale Public High, which had been used as a guinea-pig as an example to confirm its efficiency. The first year alone, his application had saved the Institution fifty-thousand dollars in direct costs, and freed up valuable teaching time for the Faculty. As useful as Edenvale High found the

Now that the two biggest segments who study at STCC are known, marketers should search for a precise marketing strategy which will appeal to the targeted groups and will help avoid countless enrollment challenges. Being able to offer the right program at an affordable price and having enough staff and resources to help the students to graduate will attract the newcomers. The research revealed who the potential students might be. Now it is time to find out what their needs are, or what are the potential student’s expectation from a community college.

As a result, many high education organizations have had to get creative in order to exist. One of those ways has been to outsource faculty (Driscoll, 2012). Another, has been to impose fees on students, some of which stem from technology as the collegiate environment transitions from brick-and-mortar to virtual. As a result, some of the financial burden from higher education organization shifts to student which allows colleges to remain active and functional while providing the experiences and convenience 21st century learners need. Additionally, the benefits of these fees may outweigh the cost for students.
