Access College Radio: The Future of Higher Education

If you’re headed toward applying for college, it’s good to think about where college is headed.

Students applying to college today do so amidst a series of changes and challenges that pose tough questions about where higher education is headed in the United States.

In this week’s installment of Access College, we grapple with some of those questions. What is to be done about the rising cost of college? How can we ensure access to higher education for every student who wants it?  And what is the value of brick and mortar institutions of higher learning when so much educational content is available online?

We dig into these issues with a cutting-edge college president, a leading figure in the online education movement, and several college professionals.

The future of higher education is happening now.  The more you know and about it now, the better equipped you’ll be to make good college decisions.
