EPICENTER – November 2025The Massification of Higher EducationThe state of higher education is arguably one of the most prominent issues facing America today. From Capitol Hill to state capitals, streaming platforms to social networking sites, the condition of education, educational policy, and reform are continually discussed, printed, published, blogged, and debated. However, while the current status of education is incessantly criticized, relatively few sources have attempted to understand recent trends, particularly in postsecondary education, in relation to social, political, and historical contexts. With greater collections of data spanning characteristics of institutions, including enrollment, completion, and education finance, along with historical facts and figures, a new perspective on higher education that analyzes change is necessary to identify key issues and means of reform within the framework of society in the United States. This edition of EPICenter focuses on these trends. |
