Half of America's Colleges Are Coin Tosses, Here's How to Beat the Odds - with Gary Stocker, Founder, College Viability

It's YOUR time to #EdUp 

In this episode, part of our EdUp Extra series (because who doesn’t love a little extra goodness in their life), & sponsored by the 2026 InsightsEDU Conference in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, February 17-19,

YOUR guest is Gary Stocker, Founder, College Viability

YOUR host is ⁠⁠Elvin Freytes

  • How does a guy helping a friend prepare for a college presidency discover in 2015 that there was zero merger partner data available & end up founding College Viability in 2018 to create financial comparison apps for 3,000 colleges?
  • What happens when you discover that not even half of American 4 year colleges graduate at least 50% of their students in 4 years & create tools to help parents check financial health before majors or campus tours?
  • How does tracking the CapEx to depreciation ratio & 8 year enrollment trends reveal which of the hundreds of colleges in financial distress will face closure versus merger decisions driven by economic survival?
