Global Universities Are Redefining the Model —Lessons from Beyond the U.S.

Around the world, higher education institutions are growing and evolving under constraints that differ markedly from those in the United States. Drawing on experience across Europe, Africa, Latin America, and beyond, many global university groups have built scalable models without reliance on high tuition or rigid academic pathways. Instead, they have developed flexible credit structures, employer-aligned programs, innovative financing approaches, and AI-enabled teaching and student support.

This session brings together leaders of major non-U.S. higher education organizations to discuss what they’ve built, why it works, and which lessons matter most for institutions navigating change in any system.
