The future of student enrollment – Five Predictions #3 & # 4
January 04, 2013 by William FriersonThe following post offers the third and fourth predictions on how student enrollment will change in the future for colleges and universities.Prediction # 3: The range of programs and teaching channels for universities will increase to include more offline and professional programs as well as auxiliary services.

In contrast, I believe that universities will actually offer more, not fewer, services and programs, in more teaching formats, length and channels in the future. Universities will strive to find additional revenue sources. Executive training programs will be just one of many examples. Colleges will want to build a continued relationship with alumni exceeding current alumni fundraising focused activities.
