This year, my husband and I joined thousands of parents in dropping their children off at college for the first time. But many of these options can provide students with a more affordable, flexible and accelerated way to learn and prepare for — or advance in — a career. And it’s clear that many students who start out seeking a degree determine that the traditional college journey isn’t for them for whatever reason. More than half of employers believe it is still less risky to hire someone with a college degree. The more high-quality options that exist for going “back to school,” the more opportunities there will be for equitable economic advancement.
