Don't be the last to learn about Opportunity University's innovative tuition pricing model. This changes everything in higher education.
It is our mission with this blog to report trends, developments, and items of interest in higher education, particularly as they relate to the internationalization of higher education. So when we see repeated articles in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal and Washington Post in the past weeks decrying the rising cost of higher education, we felt compelled to share what, in our view, is the most innovative and market conscious approach to tuition we have seen to-date.
Increasingly international students consider financial factors, along with rank, reputation, location and post-graduation opportunities. For US institutions to remain competitive and continue to attract the best and brightest domestic and international students, financial considerations have become THE issue of our day. And until this new approach to tuition pricing, there was little hope for change.
A lesser known institution is garnering a great deal of interest.
Opportunity University (www.opportunityuniversity.org), though unranked in the US News and World Report rankings and a relative newcomer in international student recruitment, is gaining great headway. We imagine many of our colleagues have already noticed Opportunity University and its creative approach to financing higher education.
Opportunity U. not only empowers students to customize their educations, but it also allows students to make the best decisions for themselves. Independence, a fostering of growth, seizing the reins of education-- these are all qualities we hope higher education will instill in young minds. Opportunity U. isn't just talking the talk but actually taking the next step to enriching and advancing higher education.
After all the talk of MOOCs and online learning, here is an institution that is really taking higher education in a new direction. Some folks may call it crazy but here at Intead we find this innovative, non-conformist approach revolutionary.
