Honing the Competitive Edge of Quality: Supporting and Sustaining Enrollment

At a time when the value of higher education is increasingly questioned and students demand more flexible pathways, a growing number of institutions are embracing digital learning as a worthwhile solution. With the rapid expansion of online programs and courses, students have more choice about where to pursue their degrees, and institutions must differentiate their offerings.
