America’s education system has been in a state of distress for the past decade, but garnished headlines recently as the student loan debt crisis reached over a trillion dollars. In conjunction with that, tuition is no longer the only obstacle a student faces when considering their future. As generations come and go, universities have slowly, but surely, been angling their education in a way to favor profit over knowledge. Because of the new direction higher education models are taking, Magdalena Kay questions her readers, “is there a problem with students, with teachers, with administrators, or maybe

In today’s society, most state colleges have become more comparable to businesses rather than universities. It is a competition between them to see who can

The overall programmatic goal of the Jame Madison University Valley Scholars program is primarily to provide access to higher education and academic support to local, low-income, at-risk, and underserved middle and high school students in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. In order to establish this goal, the Valley Scholars program provides and encompasses a variety of activities for these students, which are mentioned in the previous sections.

This journal article written by William Zumeta in April, 1992, is an extensive argument to suggest state policymakers would be wise to conduct research to maintain healthy colleges and universities to address the increasing demands of demographics and economics at state level. In addition, Zumeta suggests the private sector should be included more in state planning and addresses the effects of the public sector tuition policies. According to Zumeta, “The goal of state policy in higher education after all must be to serve the broader public interest as fully as possible with limited resources.” Although this journal article is dated, Zumeta and his colleagues challenged state policymakers to include the private sector in forming appropriations

Teresa Lubbers, the Indiana Commissioner for Higher Education, called out during the second annual State of Higher Education address to increase college completion rates. According to Teresa Lubbers, Indiana ranks 40th in education attainment and 39th in personal per capita income. These low numbers represent real citizens of Indiana who want to achieve a better life for themselves and their families through higher education (Indiana Commission for Higher Education). Lubbers approach in education is clear and concise. From Lubbers point of view, by streamlining college credit

DSU was founded in 1925, in Cleveland MS, where this school was mainly a predominately ‘White’ institution. Just like other schools in the Deep South, there were several of stipulations for other minorities to attend the universities. DSU has since then allowed every ethnicity to attend the university all over the world. Now for students there are over 60 programs that they can chose from when deciding on a career, whether its online or in a class room setting. Every university in MS are competing with each other, but in my opinion DSU and MS Valley are just a like when I come to colleges in a rural area. DSU is one of the many universities that offer nursing, and aviation program. The main goal for DSU is to increase enrollment and have a higher turnout rate. All schools will see a turnover rate but school officials are trying to change that any way the can. School officials are targeting students in the delta area, instead of targeting other areas in MS. My advice to the school officials will be to expand their horizons, have recruiters go out and promote the university, which would help boost up there retention rate. I will give my recommendations for growth, maturity, and decline for colleges over the state of MS. How can school officials keep students enrolled in school until he or she completes the entire program? I feel that the amount of enrolled individuals inside of a class setting will have an effect on the schools growth. Most students prefer a

We hope to establish a lasting relationship to help build an increasingly functional

One of the most obvious manifestations of this is the trend, now more than a decade in duration, of state disinvestment in higher education. The 12 percent decline in state funding we have absorbed in Kansas over the past 18 months was preceded by more than a decade of steady decline in the proportion of university budgets supported by state funds. We see this trend in nearly every state.

As a College Prep Scholar, Quest Bridge notified me to participate in the National College Match. Doing so, I researched each and every one of Quest Bridge’s thirty-six partner colleges. When I reviewed Vassar College, I was intrigued by its degree of flexibility in the Independent Program, which allows students to choose their own courses with no core curriculum set. This intellectual freedom appealed to me, and so I looked into Vassar more in depth. Its location is prime due to the fact that it is in the state of New York, near the scenic Hudson Valley. New York’s vastness and diversity offers each student the ability to develop their own wide web of connections. Moreover, Vassar’s small size is also a benefit in it of itself because it allows
