Growing enrollment in many fields and high returns on investment are driving more students to pursue professional degrees. Schools are responding by focusing on experiential learning, industry partnerships, sustainability, and hybrid/flexible learning models. When planning projects, schools should benchmark peers, right-size space needs, consider holistic strategies, and make the case for funding.
