Now, more than ever, higher education is not only just about academia. The rising cost of college education has prompted a growing number of students and their parents to ask, “What am I getting in return for my hard-earned tuition dollars?” Higher education is also about the career that education will bring. This is why, in order to recruit, retain and graduate minorities and nontraditional students, universities should go beyond education and make sure their graduates are career-ready. New graduates should not be asking themselves, “What now?” but rather be able to confidently state, “I’m ready!”
