Student churn is a growing crisis with profound economic and social consequences. With US higher education losing a staggering $10.72 billion a year to student dropout, it's clear that inaction is not an option. For institutions, this loss represents a significant financial and reputational risk. For students, it means incurring substantial financial debt without the benefit of a degree.
Join us for an exclusive webinar where we'll reveal key findings from the new Genio report, The Annual Cost of Student Churn in the US. We'll provide a clear, data-driven roadmap to help you understand the scale of this issue and show you how to turn the tide on student persistence.
What You'll Learn:
- The true financial impact: The estimated total annual value of student churn is $10.72 billion in the United States, with first-year students accounting for nearly half of this total at $4.85 billion.
- The highest churn rates: We’ll look at which institution types experience the highest churn, and how the rates change across states.
- The root causes of dropout: We'll explore the complex, intertwined factors behind churn, from financial and psychological to social and institutional issues.
- Actionable strategies for change: We’ll discuss what institutions are doing to reduce churn and improve student retention.
