The global higher education system has the tremendous promise— and responsibility— to drive educational outcomes that enable equal opportunity and a prosperous society, and to enable research, scholarship, and creative expression that advances humanity and improves our world for the future. At the same time, the sector faces challenges on multiple fronts. Enrollment growth is slowing, student debt is at an all-time high, and the sector is not delivering on its promise of greater equity, while the perceived value of higher education is declining.
Our work in higher education supports the sector and the institutions that comprise it to reach their full potential while tackling these important challenges. We work with universities, colleges, and other higher education institutions across the globe to develop and implement strategies that improve access, affordability, and outcomes for all, strategies that enable new research to advance society and protect the environment, and strategies that transform operations and strengthen financial sustainability – all to ensure that these institutions can fulfill their missions.
We also engage in sector-leading primary research to bring data, insights, and examples to help leaders and institutions understand and act on the major trends, shifts, and forces shaping their current and future context.
