Situation Analysis Topic

The topic on which you will base your Situation Analysis Assignment is current state of higher education.

Enrollment in many institutes is decreasing. Costs to maintain a technically, academically viable and safe campus are increasing. Online delivery has increased exponentially.

In this Situation Analysis Assignment, you will analyze the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats that higher education faces as the effects of costs, loosening of COVID restrictions, changes in the job market and other factors press in.

Your investigation should include a look at national averages for student enrollment, news information available and trends in the education landscape. To help you narrow your focus, consider that several college presidents have asked you for this analysis as they determine what changes their school may face in the next academic year. Higher ed was struggling with student debt, potential students determining that college isn’t as necessary as it has been in the past and quite a few institutions offering only online programs appealing to those who choose to work fulltime while attaining a degree before COVID came along. These issues must be addressed as COVID diminishes.

What is the strength of higher education? What are its weaknesses? What opportunities are out there and what threats may they face?

See the Resources section for just a few websites to get the research started.
