The results are in. Chief Academic Officers from 516 institutions responded to Inside Higher Ed’s recent survey, revealing valuable insights on how your peers view and deal with the challenges in higher education today.

VitalSource is proud to sponsor this survey, which included the following stats:

• Chief academic officers overwhelmingly agree (89 percent, including 63 percent who strongly agree) that liberal arts education is central to undergraduate education, even in professional programs.
• Provosts overwhelmingly say their institutions give faculty members a broad range of professional development opportunities, in areas such as teaching with technology, promoting student success,and promoting active teaching techniques..
• Fifty-two percent of CAOs say their institution awards academic credits based on demonstrated competence, up from 44 percent in 2014. One in three CAOs at colleges without competency-based education say their college is exploring such a program
