It outlines course-, program-, and outreach-level responses, highlights recurring enrollment concerns, and compares instructional modes including online and hybrid formats. It then reviews strategies to revise programs to improve retention, attract new students, support micro-credential pathways, and re-engage stopped-out students, followed by next-step research questions and
