CUNY\u2019s affordability linked to value proposition<\/b><\/h2>\n

According to CUNY\u2019s chancellor, Felix V. Matos Rodriguez, the value proposition has been pivotal in prompting increased freshman enrollments. In a word, it’s not only CUNY’s affordability but the motivation behind the accommodation.<\/b>
\nHe also noted that the Excelsior Program for the growth has been helpful in the realization of more enrollments.\u00a0<\/span>
\nCUNY\u2019s affordability can also be explained by the actuality that the average student debt linked to its graduates is substantially lower compared to the national average. It’s affordability PLUS high quality,<\/span><\/p>\n

CUNY\u2019s affordability elevated by the Excelsior Program<\/b><\/h2>\n

\nCUNY has, therefore, been a beneficiary of this trend, as well as the huge number of immigrants moving to New York City.\u00a0 Add to that, CUNY’s well-engineered marketing campaign is bearing good fruits.<\/span>
\nOn the other hand, it has been stipulated that <\/span>Online Program Managers (OPMs)<\/span><\/a> have been thwarting college affordability.\u00a0<\/span>
\nOPMs are companies that are usually hired for the connection they make between universities and clients seeking graduate degrees.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
