Public higher education has never been more challenged. Join Inside Higher Ed for IHE NOW, July 8-10, 2019, in Baltimore, MD, as we examine issues such as the eroding business models of many state colleges and universities and the impact of partisanship on academe. This three-day summit, “The Future of Public Higher Ed,” will feature experts from every sector of public higher education, as well as political and corporate leaders. We will ask questions and explore thorny issues that often get short shrift at other conferences, and push for unflinching discussion among participants.
General education is one of the most debated topics in higher education -- and getting gen ed right is important for every kind of college, even if doing so may look very different at colleges with different missions. Overhauling gen ed can bring a college together ... or leave a college divided. This event will explore some issues that cross sector boundaries: Do students understand gen ed requirements? Does it matter if they don't? How can colleges best evaluate their gen ed requirements? Are gen ed requirements too extensive or lacking in rigor?
Demographic and enrollment patterns threaten the viability of many liberal arts and other institutions. Join us on August 16 in San Francisco, CA to explore the challenges and possible strategies.
Master's education is central for many students and institutions, but it also faces more competition than ever before. We will explore trends in master's enrollment and consider whether the master's has in fact become "the new bachelor's." Further, the event will examine the kinds of master's programs being created or expanded. And the program will include discussion of the way many new forms of higher education -- online, MOOC-inspired, boot camps, competency-based education and more -- challenge the master's degree.
