How Institutions with Limited Online Options Can Attract & Retain Adult Learners
As technology becomes more integrated into higher education, institutions with limited online programming are facing increasing pressure to go digital. This pressure has been multiplied by COVID, as remote learning became the norm over the past year, and some students started seeing more value in online course delivery than they had before. Consequently, colleges and universities lacking online courses are experiencing higher-than-average attrition and tuition revenue decline.

ReUp was founded to address the college completion crisis in this country, which has disproportionately impacted students of color and their families. And if education is truly the great equalizer, we must continue our
