Dive Brief:
- Graduate enrollment grew this fall while most of the rest of the higher education sector lagged, so it’s perhaps unsurprising that Moody’s Investors Service projects those programs will continue to play a critical role in colleges’ revenue growth and diversification.
- In a new report shared with Higher Ed Dive, the credit rating agency says colleges that have the resources and ability to adapt quickly to new demand will be the most likely to benefit from the heightened interest in graduate programs.
- Moody’s also notes the continued potential for growth in online and short-term offerings, program types institutions have been embracing as a way to expand their reach.
Dive Insight:
Graduate enrollment partly grew because many of the programs were online before the pandemic, enrollment experts said last fall. Graduate programs have been central to many institutions’ online expansion in recent years, and Moody’s notes students are demanding more tailored offerings.
