Adult Degree Completion: Market Realities

Opportunities and Risks in Serving Undergraduates with Some College but No Prior Degree

As unemployment soars, many universities are looking to adult degree completion as a path to enrollment growth in the post-pandemic world. But the vast majority of the 38 million U.S. college stop-outs will never return to complete a degree. And when they do return, most degree completion students choose 2-year or online universities for their fast and flexible options. For four-year institutions, recruiting adult degree completers will require a data-driven enrollment strategy focused on meeting evolving student need and intent.

To help guide enrollment strategy, EAB sized and segmented the adult degree completion market to understand student attendance patterns and degree choices, and the realities of competing in this challenging market. Register for our webinar to learn more.
