Universities need non-traditional students, and a changing Canada means that non-traditional students can benefit from university programming, argues Loleen Berdahl (University of Saskatchewan). In her article for University Affairs, Berdahl asserts that one of the ways universities can recoup lost revenues is to increase their non-traditional enrolments. To entice non-traditional students, Berdahl says, universities must consider that these students have high expectations for their studies. To meet these expectations, faculty and leaders must ask themselves how they can provide career-relevant, efficient, and flexible programming while also approaching non-traditional learners with empathy.
