    Ep. 31: What’s Next for the Role of Liberal Arts & Sciences in AI Technology?

    This episode covers one of Ray’s favorite topics – the liberal arts and sciences.  As colleges and universities are pressured to demonstrate the return on investment for their cost of attendance, many have prioritized science, technology and engineering fields with higher employability and starting salaries.  This has shifted focus from the liberal arts at a time when AI technology is becoming more central to higher education.  Bryce Pendleton, Vice President of Brand & Technology at Southern Virginia University joins the podcast to explore the future of liberal arts education in the context of AI technology.

I'm joined by Dr. Nick Ladany, President of San Francisco Bay University, to explore these unspoken realities of American higher ed.

    Ep. 26: What’s Next for the Value Proposition of Higher Education?

    In this episode we’re joined by Dr. Aric Krause, Dean of Academic and Administrative Affairs at Rensselaer at Work, the online and professional education arm of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI).  RPI, the nation’s first technological university, celebrates its bicentennial this year, and Rensselaer at Work has offered professional graduate education in STEM for more than 70 years. Traditional selling points for higher ed, like “small class sizes,” no longer resonate strongly with modern learners, and institutions must innovate to stay relevant, particularly for working professionals and adult students. Dr. Krause shares what’s next for higher education as it re-defines its value proposition in an evolving landscape, and how Rensselaer at Work is meeting the needs of today’s learners.
