Webinar Addresses How to Manage Academic Programs for Minors

Promoting social connectedness

Students are maneuvering complex challenges and interruptions to their study goals, adjusting their study abroad plans, and choosing to stay at home and enroll in their local universities. Local universities, in turn, see an opportunity to expand and build programs to attract and retain these full-paying, academically strong students.

In addition to making sure students have access to opportunities to earn college credit while in high school, schools and higher education systems will need to work cooperatively to better define what it means to be college ready.

Erasing the Community College Stigma

Student mobility-focused partnerships can be nuanced. While the agreement usually focuses on the complex joint degree assessment and program design, the role of student demand is often overlooked.

This movement to study at home can be leveraged into new kinds of partnerships and a new vision of study abroad. 

The pandemic meant most students were barred from their campuses from the end of the autumn term until 17 May, so they missed out on in-person teaching, access to facilities such as libraries, and social and extracurricular activities. Many were frustrated to find themselves unable to access rooms in halls of residence and flats they had already paid for.

Partnerships focused on student mobility have risen to the top for international institutions seeking to build meaningful and sustainable relationships with their American counterparts.
