Surprise! Data science, technology among key higher ed growth areas - Tara García Mathewson, Education Dive

New research from Learning House aims to help colleges and universities think about the future of higher education. While many of the findings should not be a surprise to those inside the evolving educational landscape, "Growth Opportunities in Higher Education: Degrees and Alternate Pathways," may provide some external validation of strategic plans at colleges and universities across the country. The report projects high-demand online bachelor’s, master’s, MBA and doctoral degree programs of the future, along with alternative learning pathways that are bound to gain in popularity. “This research underscores that for higher education institutions to thrive, it’s critical that they’re flexible in how, where, and what they offer to students,” said Learning House CEO Todd Zipper in a prepared statement. http://www.educationdive.com/news/surprise-data-science-technology-among-key-higher-ed-growth-areas/418204/
