Could the growth in graduate or associate programs at St. Kate’s help our traditional women’s college?
Indeed it could — and already does! The task force’s research with other institutions that made the leap from “college” to “university” showed that many of those institutions used revenue from graduate programs to keep their undergraduate liberal arts programs on the leading edge. All of the institutions that made the change felt it had been an overwhelmingly positive experience. Initial resistance, especially on the parts of students and alumni, was short lived. The most positive experiences were at institutions that linked their name changes with other strategic initiatives, such as a growth in new programs or a new structure for the organization.
