🤔 One question we often hear asked by students is: “Is a college degree really worth it?” The North Carolina General Assembly took it upon themselves and partnered with Deloitte to measure the ROI of a degree at the University of North Carolina System. 📈 Data showed that out of 1,299 programs across the UNC System, 94% of them had a positive ROI for graduates and 90% of students from low-income households saw upward economic mobility. Dr. Andrew Kelly, Senior Vice President for Strategy and Policy at the UNC System, joins us at Higher Ed Chats with Scott Miller to give us all the details about the study and how they have managed to make their programs overwhelmingly worth it for their students. 🎧 Listen to the full episode now:  On Spotify: https://lnkd.in/dAz7mjat On Apple Podcasts: https://lnkd.in/dpBXrUZh
