A View of 2020• The location of a college, and the geographic
spread of its influence and recruiting area, will be the most significant factor in determining its flow of enrollees in the next decade. *
• The Northeastern states will see a consistent decline in graduates of about 1% per year.
• The South will consistently increase and there will be 9.4% more grads in 2020-21 than in 08-09.

Question:• Of today’s college students, how many of them fit
the traditional image of 18-22 year, full-time, living on campus?
83% 57% 33% 16%

• The “over 25” population is the fastest-growing student segment in higher education and has consistently increased during the last three decades. Peter Stokes, Paper for the Secretary of Education’s Commission on the Future of Higher Education
Correct
Adult Learners• Fastest growing student population • The student body is getting older (25-44)• Will be even more heavily weighted toward
women• Part time students• Working full-time• While the enrollment is projected to grow faster
at private institutions, that is probably because for-profit colleges are private.
Adult Learners• Want sequential degree steps: certificate, AA,
BA/BS, Masters• Continuous enrollment, year-round• Flexible scheduling and services• Advising upfront and as needed• Flexible payment and financial aid opportunities• From 2007 to 2016, the population of college
students ages 18 to 24 will increase by 11.1 percent, but the population of students ages 25 to 34 will increase by 26.8 percent (US Dept of Ed -Center for Ed Statistics)
Online Learners • Nothing is as likely to change the face of
higher education over the next decade as the switch to more online learning.
• The enrollment in distance-education courses nearly quadrupled, from 3,077,000 to 12,153,000 from 2000 - 2007.
• Students (digital natives) AND adult learners (convenience) are demanding online courses.
• Greater than 20% of students are enrolled in at least 1 online course (Fall, 2007).
Online Learning• Associate’s institutions teach over ½ of all online
students• Community Colleges entered online later, but
identified as central to mission• Colleges serving working adults are most positive
about enrollment potential• 85% online enrollments w/in 50 mile radius of
campus – beginning to see change with for-profit private marketing
• 1 in 5 institutions offered 1st online courses in 2007. WVU began in 1999.
Why is this important?• Adult student programs will more than likely be
called upon even more heavily to generate revenue to add to the institution’s bottom line
• Programs focused on serving adult students are the largest potential growth market, according to demographics, in higher education
• Adult student programs able to serve minority students well will be better positioned to compete (particularly in the South)
Importance – continued
• Online addresses flexibility in schedules & lives• Online addresses access during commute, or from
workplace, home• Online addresses career focus and advancement• Increases revenue w/o increasing physical
infrastructure
Who is our competition (really)?
• In West Virginia?• Out of West Virginia?
