Trends for Higher Education

From demographics and social change to politics and technology, many trends impact higher education. SCUP’s bi-annual Trends for Higher Education report can help you and your institution make sense of the most significant issues, movements, and changes.

What Is Trends

Trends scans a wide range of sources and identifies the most important factors—those that may influence your work today, tomorrow, over the next decade, and beyond.

We collate and curate the news so you don’t have to, collecting and summarizing relevant trends and explaining what they might mean for your institution.

Each trend includes a brief summary, a footnoted source, and discussion questions to help you analyze and act.

Topics:

Social movements

Economic changes
Envirnomental shifts
Political changes
