A trend in higher education? March 27, 2024 and updated April 1, 2024. https://www.wishtv.com/news/education/beyond-bachelors-degrees-why-indys-private-colleges-are-adding-two-year-degrees/ “Thirty colleges, mostly private regional schools, closed their doors in the first 10 months of 2023, according to the Hechinger Report. By growing beyond bachelor’s degrees to associate degrees, certificates and certification programs, private colleges seek to proactively fend off enrollment problems.” Also. “Beyond that, University of Indianapolis is investing heavily into stackable degree programs, meaning that instead of classes and credits, the degree consists of a variety of certificates that will eventually amalgamate into a degree. The college is starting by redesigning its Master of Business Administration as a collection of certificates, which it will start offering this fall.”
