This has been a rough few weeks. I have had many difficult conversations with students, parents, and families and have even seen some tears. These difficult conversations are, without a doubt, the hardest part of my job; I wish I could wave my magic wand and give everyone, students, parents, and colleges what they want. We all often speak about certain colleges, so it is no wonder students may think that the only good colleges are the ones they have heard of.

Over the last few years, RNL has reported that the online education market is in the midst of a generational transition. With our 2024 national study, we can firmly say that this transition—from “Gen X/Millennial” to “Millennial/Gen Z”—is complete. Today, all but 24 percent of online students are within this new demographic. We now need to understand whether this represents a seismic shift in how we market, position, recruit for, and organize our online programs, or a more nuanced one.
