The article reports that the enrollment at Northeastern University, Boston, Massachusetts' continuing-education division has climbed nearly 20 percent since president Christopher E. Hopey arrived. Northeastern's renaissance comes at a time when adult education is booming nationwide. Hopey has spent $250,000 on surveys that have helped make informed decisions on degree programs and he pays $25,000 a year as part of a consortium of 61 colleges that share research done on their behalf by Eduventures. Now 60 percent of the continuing-education students at Northeastern are enrolled in undergraduate programs.
