A core mission of public universities is to provide students from all different backgrounds access to a high-quality, affordable education, help those students obtain a degree, and ultimately work to ensure graduates are prepared for a lifetime of learning.
Removing Affordability Barriers
While public universities continue to provide the most affordable path to a quality higher education, steep cuts in state funding have placed a greater burden on students to pay for college. APLU is working with members to ensure public universities remain affordable for all students.
Reimagining Teaching to Maximize Student Learning
APLU is partnering with members to reimagine and improve teaching so students are prepared for a lifetime of learning. This work is aimed at scaling best practices across all types of public institutions.
Providing Holistic Support & Ensuring Basic Student Needs
APLU institutions are working to test and scale interventions that meet students’ basic needs beyond the classroom.
Preparing Students for the Workforce & Post-Collegiate Success
Public universities are helping students build skills they need for long lasting careers in today’s evolving workplace. Meeting learner and workforce needs requires partnerships with employers, community colleges, workforce boards, and others.
Using Data to Improve Student Success
Institutions’ use of more sophisticated data comes at a time when student bodies are continuing to evolve. Public universities are turning data into actionable information and tools to improve student decisions and outcomes.
