Higher Ed Program Pricing in a Post—COVID-19 World

Tuition costs have always been a top concern for aspiring college students and their families. The arrival of COVID-19 and its disruption among higher education and society in general has amplified that concern even further.

Many schools have opted to transition residential courses fully online or adopt a hybrid format, which has students questioning the quality and value of the education they’re investing in. Institutions need to be considering how they can readjust their programs, messaging or even tuition pricing itself in order to address the financial concerns of current and future students.
