Students expect universities to be more accessible, flexible, and focused on jobs, according to a new survey with responses from more than 20,800 students at 37 Laureate member institutions in 21 countries. The survey, which asked student opinions on what universities would look like in 15 years, found that 68 percent of students believed the university of the future will offer free online libraries where students can access course materials, books, and other reference tools. Fifty-nine percent told researchers they believe that students will utilize social media platforms to learn, and in turn to teach other students, and a 43 percent plurality said they believe universities will offer free online content for most courses. Additionally 52 percent of students said most courses would be offered any time of day or night, and 44 percent said most courses would have no fixed schedule. More than 70 percent of survey respondents told researchers they think “career-oriented skills (not just subject matter) will be taught in future universities.” The full report may be accessed at http://www.laureate.net/AboutLaureate/University-of-the-Future.
