Universities should leverage online distance learning to replace the role of 2-year junior colleges as feeder schools. “Multiversities” will evolve to rely mostly on online courses for general education and face-to-face or hybrid for upper-division courses and those in their major. Once students are fully engaged in their major, they should benefit from the mentoring that comes from personal interaction. Much good can come from the apprenticing with a faculty member. At that point the presence of teacher is a powerful tool for engaging and retaining students in their chosen field.
