Fresh approaches to meet new challenges
The definition of student success has evolved, but higher education is still catching up.
The formidable disruptions of the past six years strained college’s resources and amplified the challenges students face. And today’s institutions are being asked to do more with less: to not only graduate students but to prepare them for well-paying jobs, too. But while 85 percent of respondents to a new Chronicle survey said student success is defined more broadly than it was five years ago, a little less than half said their institution’s own goals target job placement or postgraduation outcomes.
Student-success work, no longer confined to academic and student affairs, has become a shared responsibility as it adapts to economic and political pressures, as well as public demand. With exclusive survey data and reporting based on dozens of interviews, this report is a comprehensive view of innovations in student success.
Inside, you'll discover strategies to maximize the use of data and technology (including artificial intelligence), new models for delivering degrees faster and at a lower cost, advances in academic and career advising, and how colleges are adapting to meet students’ changing mental-health and basic needs. The report also spotlights the strategies behind student-success programs at 11 institutions.
With your purchase of a print or digital copy of the report, you'll receive a separate digital download of our survey results for independent analysis.
Readers of this report will:
- Hear from administrators and staff members about their institutions’ priorities and challenges in student-success work, in an exclusive Chronicle survey of more than 370 higher-ed employees in student-success roles.
- Go behind the scenes on the strategies behind student-success programs at 11 spotlighted institutions.
- Understand the challenges that have expanded and complicated student-success goals at today’s institutions.
- Explore the factors that are shaping the future of student-success goals — including advances in AI, declining enrollment, and increased price-sensitivity — and how innovative colleges are anticipating their students’ changing needs.
