Custom Degree Programs for Distance Education

Got A Great Idea For A Degree Program?

We are entering an era of innovation in distance education. As more and more institutions enter the distance education marketplace, the competition is becoming intense.

There are now over 1600 schools offering at least one degree program by distance education. The latest count puts the MBA total over 170.

How will students select one program over another? To students, one degree program looks pretty much like another. As long as it is accredited, an MBA is an MBA, right?

So how will schools create competitive advantage for themselves? There will probably be a number of ways. Some schools will benefit from their brick and mortar reputations. Some will rely on relationships with corporations or the military.

But for all schools--even those with long-standing business and military recruiting pipelines--the best way to differentiate will be to offer innovative product.

The Innovation Gap
That is where many institutions of higher education are simply not ready to compete in today’s market. Their degree development cycles are much too long, far too bureaucratic, and often generate only irrelevant and outdated product.

At best, even an innovative and far-sighted administration is limited in its ability to quickly develop, test, and market a new curriculum program.

These limitations create a gap between a fast-moving and hungry market and an impaired degree program development process.
