Designing the Future of Graduate Education | Building the Institutional Foundation for Sustainable Growth

February 3
3:00-4:00pm ET
This webinar will explore how student-first, human-centered pedagogical design can reshape graduate education to better serve today’s learners. At its core, SFBU’s approach starts with a simple principle: institutions should be designed around student access, learning, and success. Rather than launching a single program in isolation, SFBU reexamined long-held assumptions about how higher education is designed, governed, and delivered, building an institutional foundation that prioritizes equity, persistence, and meaningful learning outcomes. This framework blends academic rigor with human-centered design, data-informed decision-making, and emerging technologies, including AI, to expand access, personalize learning, and support continuous improvement. One early example is SFBU’s forthcoming MBA, the first of several programs developed within this flexible, student-centered model.
