About the Episode:
In this bonus episode recorded live at the ASU+GSV summit in San Diego, we spoke with Geordie Hyland from the American College of Education about building a higher ed model centered on affordability, efficiency, and student outcomes. They explore how a fully online, in-house curriculum approach—combined with a focus on employer alignment and continuous improvement—can deliver high-quality education while keeping costs low and minimizing student debt.
The conversation highlights the importance of rethinking traditional higher ed structures, emphasizing that institutions must prioritize clear ROI, student value, and sustainable operating models to remain relevant and accessible in today’s evolving landscape.
