Tóm tắt
This chapter explores the current demographic and political/economic landscape of higher education and offers possible responses to challenges of retaining a useful, modern liberal arts perspective that addresses the needs of a career readiness emphasis. These responses include the possible compression of higher education through more efficient curricula design and delivery, partnerships with high schools to help build career pathways for traditional students, and the offering of alternative micro-credentials, such as certificate programs. The importance of aligning higher education with workforce needs is also addressed. © 2020 by IGI Global. All rights reserved.
