Graduate Education 2020
Graduate Education 2020 was launched in 2006 to mark the twentieth anniversary of the CGS/GRE Enrollment and Degrees Survey. The program supports a major international conversation, to evolve over a decade, on the future of graduate education. An annual symposium conducted in concurrence with the CGS meeting in December each year brings in leading thinkers and strategists with expertise on topics including demographics, global trends in higher education, the economy, technology, and social transformation. Please see below for CGS publications on the project.
