AACRAO is pleased to announce the release of its most recent report, Collaboration, Competition or Convergence? The relationship between professional and continuing education and traditional academic programs.

The report explores the degree to which professional and continuing education (PCE), and traditional academic programs currently operate in collaboration or competition for students and/or institutional resources. Data from this first-look 2023 benchmark survey addresses a number of issues, challenges and opportunities that institutional PCE units face with academic registrars and others in central administration.
