COLLEGE OF EDUCATION SAYS IT'S
BUCKING TRENDS IN HIGHER
EDUCATION AS IT SEES ENROLLMENTS
INCREASE.

4
00:00:13.680 --> 00:00:21.521
THE UNIVERSITY MOVE TO
INDIANAPOLIS IN 2011 AFTER BEING
FOUNDED IN CHICAGO IN THE MID TO
THOUSANDS AND FOR MORE ON THIS

5
00:00:21.521 --> 00:00:29.496
COLLEGE, WHAT SOME HAVE
DESCRIBED AS A HIDDEN GEM
PLEASED TO BE JOINED BY THE
COLLEGE OF EDUCATION PRESIDENT

6
00:00:29.496 --> 00:00:37.971
CHANTEL.
THANKS VERY MUCH FOR JOINING US.
>>: GREAT TO BE HERE TODAY.
LET'S TALK ABOUT THE COLLEGE OF

7
00:00:37.971 --> 00:00:45.712
EDUCATION.
FOUNDED IN CHICAGO IN 2005 WHAT
PROMPTED THE MOVE TO
INDIANAPOLIS IN 2011?

8
00:00:45.712 --> 00:00:52.218
>>: IT WAS THE STATE DEPARTMENT
OF INDIANAPOLIS THAT PROMPTED
THIS.
THEY WERE LOOKING FOR EXACTLY

9
00:00:52.218 --> 00:00:59.859
WHAT WE HAVE TO OFFER AN ONLINE
PROGRAM HIGH QUALITY FOR
TEACHERS ESPECIALLY SOMETHING
THAT COULD GET OUT TO RURAL

10
00:00:59.859 --> 00:01:04.731
CITIZENS.
>>: WE TALKED ABOUT THE MODEL
OF THE AMERICAN COLLEGE OF
EDUCATION.

11
00:01:04.731 --> 00:01:11.070
YOU ARE ONLINE AND YOU ARE
TOTALLY ONLINE INSTITUTION.
>>: WE ARE.
COMPLETELY ONLINE.

12
00:01:11.070 --> 00:01:21.681
WE HAVE ABOUT 70 EMPLOYEES IN
INDIANA AND A NUMBER OF
EMPLOYEES ACROSS ALL 50 STATES.
WE WORK AS REMOTELY AS POSSIBLE

13
00:01:21.681 --> 00:01:29.456
SO WE KEEP OUR FOOTPRINT SMALL
AND THAT ALLOWS US TO BRING BACK
THE TUITION SAVINGS TO STUDENTS.
>>: YOU CREDIT TUITION AND

14
00:01:29.456 --> 00:01:39.666
SAVINGS AND KEEPING THOSE COSTS
AFFORDABLE.
FOR INCREASING ENROLLMENTS TALK
ABOUT YOUR ENROLLMENT SITUATION

15
00:01:39.666 --> 00:01:46.072
BECAUSE A BIT OF TREND ON HIGHER
EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS AND
ENROLLMENT HAS BEEN A CHALLENGE.
>>: IT HAS BEEN.

16
00:01:46.072 --> 00:01:53.313
WE ARE IN A UNIQUE SITUATION AND
IT'S BECAUSE WE ARE TRULY A
UNIQUE INSTITUTION.
WE'VE HAD DOUBLE DIGIT

17
00:01:53.313 --> 00:02:01.721
ENROLLMENT GROWTH BACK TO 2016
AND LAST YEAR WE HAD 25 PERCENT
NEW ENROLLMENT GROWTH.
SO WHEN WE HAD QUESTIONS WITH

18
00:02:01.721 --> 00:02:09.596
STUDENTS WE HAD A FOCUS GROUP
WITH THEM AND TALKED ABOUT WHY
THEY CAME AND MANY OF THEM IT'S
BECAUSE WE HAVE BEEN ONLINE FOR

19
00:02:09.596 --> 00:02:17.937
SO LONG SO THEY KNEW THAT WHILE
THERE WAS SO MUCH TREPIDATION IN
THE WORLD IT WAS REALLY EASY FOR
THEM TO MAKE A DECISION TO GO

20
00:02:17.937 --> 00:02:24.878
ONLINE TO A SCHOOL THAT'S BEEN
ONLINE.
WE WEREN'T TRYING TO FIGURE IT
OUT AS WE GO SO I THINK THAT

21
00:02:24.878 --> 00:02:31.985
CONTRIBUTES TO THE ENROLLMENT
GROWTH BUT ONE STENT I WANTED TO
SHARE WITH YOU AND THAT IS
40 PERCENT OF STUDENTS SAY THEY

22
00:02:31.985 --> 00:02:39.058
COME THROUGH WORD OF MOUTH.
THAT REFERRAL CAPABILITY, THAT
REALLY SPEAKS TO THAT HIDDEN
GEM.

23
00:02:39.058 --> 00:02:48.268
WHY ARE WE WON OF THE TOP
CONFERS OF DEGREES IN EDUCATION
NO ONE HAS HEARD FROM.
IT'S ORGANIC GROWTH COMING FROM

24
00:02:48.268 --> 00:02:53.973
STUDENTS.
>>: ONE UNIQUE ASPECT IS THE
INSTITUTION IS A CERTIFIED B
CORPORATION.

25
00:02:53.973 --> 00:03:02.916
EXPLAIN WHAT THAT MEANS AND WHY
WAS THAT AN IMPORTANT PART OR IS
THAT AN IMPORTANT PART OF YOUR
MODEL?

26
00:03:02.916 --> 00:03:08.254
>>: ABSOLUTELY.
IT'S SOMETHING WE ARE VERY PROUD
OF.
AS A CERTIFIED BENEFIT

27
00:03:08.254 --> 00:03:16.729
CORPORATION WHAT THAT MEANS IS
WE HAVE A PUBLIC ACCOUNTABILITY
TO USE OUR PROFITS FOR GOOD SO
IT'S REALLY ABOUT HOW MUCH DO WE

28
00:03:16.729 --> 00:03:25.271
GIVE BACK TO OUR COMMUNITIES
BOTH IN TERMS OF OUR RESOURCES,
BUT ALSO IN TERMS OF OUR TIME.
WE VOLUNTEER QUITE A BIT ACROSS

29
00:03:25.271 --> 00:03:35.848
THE COUNTRY, BUT IN INDIANAPOLIS
WE WORK WITH TEACHERS SO WE DO A
LOT OF VOLUNTEER WORK WITH THEM.
WE WORKED WITH LEADERS AND FOOD

30
00:03:35.848 --> 00:03:45.625
BANK RIGHT BEFORE THE PANDEMIC
HIT, IMPACT 14,000 MEALS FOR
STUDENTS OR FOUR EMPLOYEES.
IT IS REALLY ABOUT GIVING US

31
00:03:45.625 --> 00:03:54.500
THAT LANGUAGE TO BE ABLE TO
EXPLAIN WHAT WE DO AND HOW WE
GIVE BACK AND WHAT WE BELIEVE.
EVERYTHING WE DO FROM OUR

32
00:03:54.500 --> 00:04:01.474
PROGRAMS TO WORKING WITH OUR
EMPLOYEES, IT'S ALL ABOUT
SERVING THOSE WHO SERVE OTHERS
AND IT REALLY ALLOWS US TO DO

33
00:04:01.474 --> 00:04:09.882
THAT AND EXPLAIN OUR STORY WELL.
>>: FINAL QUESTION FOR YOU AND
YOU OPERATE IN ALL 50 STATES BUT
HERE THE TALENT PIPELINE IS SO

34
00:04:09.882 --> 00:04:15.888
IMPORTANT.
WHERE DO YOU SEE THE OFFERINGS
AT THE AMERICAN COLLEGE OF
EDUCATION PLAY A ROLE?

35
00:04:15.888 --> 00:04:24.063
WE HAVE A LOT OF EDUCATION FOCUS
BUT NURSING AND HEALTHCARE
DISCIPLINES AS WELL.
>>: ABSOLUTELY.

GETTING INTO HEALTHCARE AND
NURSING AND GRADUATED OUR RECENT
MSN SO MASTERS DEGREES IN
NURSING AND ONE IS COMING IN THE

37
00:04:32.105 --> 00:04:41.714
NEXT COUPLE OF MONTHS IS A VERY
UNIQUE MBA WHICH IS FOCUSED ON
SOCIAL IMPACT SO IT WAS REALLY
TEACHING BUSINESS STUDENTS HOW

38
00:04:41.714 --> 00:04:52.458
TO USE PROFITS FOR GOOD AND HOW
TO LEAD FOR CHANGE SO EVERYTHING
