Capstone Abstract - "Why Adults Should be and are Becoming a Prominent Piece of the SEM Puzzle"
With the state of higher education’s changing landscape including the vast number of adults with some college, but no degree and declining high school graduation numbers coupled with the national economic shift and labor workforce shortage, it is more important than ever that enrollment managers focus on encouraging and supporting adults to return to college. Strategic enrollment management is the channel through which institutions can combat that changing dynamic. This paper aims to outline why and how adults became the primary college population, why it is more important than ever for institutions to shift their focus to that population, what barriers they face, how strategic enrollment management is an important part of serving that group, and one state’s online department’s efforts to serve them.
