Internships and Admissions Practices • New generation of parents and students demand clear return on investment (ROI) • Career-readiness and tangible educational outcomes weigh higher than traditional benefits • Traditional, 4 -year, liberal arts experience giving way to concrete outcomes • Prospective students want to hear about current students’ experiences outside of the classroom, and to know where recent alumni are hired • As admissions field grows, directors place a greater emphasis on counselor’s ability to market a school’s ROI and student experiences
