Hello everyone!
HBS professor Clayton Christensen has gone on record as saying that online education is so cost effective that half of US universities could go out of business within the next 15 years. Professor Christensen is the co-author of The Innovative University which discusses the challenges posed to these colleges by online, for-profit universities.
Christensen does mention that most large donors give generously to colleges because of personal relationships they developed at the schools and pointed out that is something the disruptors won’t likely be able to replicate.
We’ve seen research from Moody’s that small colleges, in particular, are going to be more likely to merge or close. We’ve also been concerned with the facility spending on items such as luxury dormitories.
Time will tell of course, but please don’t hesitate to share your thoughts below.
Best of luck with your applications!
Sincerely,
David Petersam
