The View From Segal: Conquering Headwinds

2018 has been a challenging year for all of higher education, but especially for graduate education. Enrollment is down at graduate schools across the country, which is often the trend during periods when the economy is especially strong, making it less attractive for students to forgo one or two years in the workforce to further their education. It’s also more difficult to recruit international students right now due to the political atmosphere in the United States and uncertainty about the availability of visas both during and after graduate studies.
