Bleak future of Liberal Arts Colleges?

[ucbalumnus]

@Corbett

I would agree that less selective LACs, which charge high tuition but which don’t offer high prestige, may face hard times in the future. However, this will be true for any private institution, whether it is a LAC or a large university.

I was not restricting the comment in reply #4 to LACs when I wrote “private colleges”. Indeed, plenty of private colleges that are not LACs are likely to be in trouble.

However, it is possible that some private colleges that are generally not high prestige may avoid trouble if they offer something unusual that attracts enough students and parents to pay higher costs to attend.
