Personalized education is just one of the strategies that seven urban universities are planning to use as they map out how to improve student success as part of a Transformational Planning Grant project. Florida International University, California’s Fresno State, Georgia State University, Oregon’s Portland State University, Pennsylvania’s Temple University, The University of Akron in Ohio, and the University of Illinois at Chicago each received a $225,000 grant in a year-long project designed to transform higher education delivery. For this grant project, Portland State University is honing in on cost-saving flexible degrees for adult learners and clear pathways to success for community college students. The clear pathways will help students understand what classes they need to graduate and prevent excess course taking that doesn’t count toward their degree, Andrews said. Credentialing prior learning, and providing fully online and flipped classes will also save students time and money.
