Just Released: The Future of Student Success

The definition of student success has evolved — has your institution kept pace?

Over the past six years, higher education has faced unprecedented disruption. Today, institutions are expected to do more with fewer resources. 

New research from The Chronicle reveals just how much expectations have shifted. While 85% of respondents to our latest survey say student success is defined more broadly than it was five years ago, fewer than half report that their institution's goals explicitly include job placement or postgraduation outcomes.

In The Chronicle’s latest report, The Future of Student Success, you'll learn about new strategies that are factoring into effective student-success programs.

Drawing on exclusive survey data and reporting from dozens of interviews, this new report offers a comprehensive look at the innovations reshaping student success.

When you purchase a print or digital copy of the report, you'll also receive a downloadable dataset containing the complete survey results, allowing you to conduct your own independent analysis.
