Ep. 204: Voices of Student Success: The Rise of the Nontraditional College Student

In this episode of Voices of Student Success, Inside Higher Ed’s podcast series exploring what really shapes students’ experiences, Sara Weissman, senior reporter at IHE, joins student success reporter, Joshua Bay.

For generations, colleges were largely designed around the idea of an 18-year-old who enrolled straight out of high school, attended full time and followed a relatively linear path to graduation. But today’s students increasingly look different. In this episode, they explore who today’s college students really are, how higher education demographics have changed and why institutions are being challenged to rethink the traditional student model.
