A college degree and economic mobility often go hand in hand. A bachelor’s degree can lead to higher earnings over a lifetime. But as technologies like AI impact the job market, how do academic institutions best prepare students for roles that may not even be created yet? Not only that, how do we give more people the chance to achieve a degree and build the skills that industries need? In this episode, Barbara Humpton speaks with Scott Pulsipher, president of Western Governors University, about how academic institutions can think innovatively – even radically – about what it means to achieve a college degree in an era of rapid change. Listeners will learn how WGU has become a pioneer in this space, tackling challenges like affordability and accessibility while giving students more ownership over their education.
