Abstract

Involving over 200 countries, the COVID-19 global pandemic impacts adult learners’ retention, increasing the need to reshape practitioner-oriented higher education institutions to better serve students. The purpose of this study was to explore how practitioner higher education institutions adopted innovative approaches and reshaped policies, practices, and perspectives to accommodate changes brought about by the COVID- 19 pandemic and successfully maintained or increased enrollment. This article reports the results, which may enhance practitioner higher education programs and enrollment.
