WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY
WHO WE SERVE
Can/will small liberal arts colleges survive given the current environment?
“I don’t understand how anyone in private higher education should be overly optimistic,” said Ronald A. Crutcher, president of the University of Richmond. The private liberal arts school in Virginia’s capital, with 4,000 students and an endowment of more than $2.5 billion, is well-positioned to ride out the turbulence. But with tuition, fees, room and board exceeding $60,000 a year at his school and many others — before discounts and financial aid — Crutcher said he wonders when the sticker price for private colleges will hit a ceiling."

Plenty of colleges, like Carnegie Mellon and Rutgers Universities, offer wellness- and career-oriented courses for seniors. And virtually all four-year colleges have senior capstone programs, according to the University of South Carolina’s National Survey of Senior Capstone Experiences.
