Many are questioning the value of a college education. Only half of US alumni strongly agree their education was worth the cost. The way students value and experience their education has changed. They have new expectations: - Job outcomes, not just a degree - Social and digital, not isolated and static - Experiential, not theoretical Meanwhile, supportive relationships most influenced, even doubled, graduates’ perception that their education was worth the cost.
