INSTITUTIONAL SUBSCRIPTIONS  


Give your campus full access to Inside Higher Ed

An Inside Higher Ed institutional subscription gives faculty, staff and students across your college, university or organization full access to Inside Higher Ed’s higher education news, analysis and insights.

If your institution is like 94%* of U.S. colleges and universities, members of your campus community are already reading Inside Higher Ed. For decades, higher education leaders and professionals have turned to us for independent reporting and analysis of the issues shaping U.S. higher education.

With an institutional subscription, your library or organization can provide campus-wide access to Inside Higher Ed, including breaking news, policy updates, in-depth features, analysis and our extensive archive.

Institutional subscriptions make it easy for libraries and resource managers to provide and manage access. With our IP authentication, email domain recognition or email address access, you can give your faculty, staff and students access Inside Higher Ed, while intuitive administrative dashboards make it simple to manage your subscription.

Whether you need access for a department or your entire organization, we can tailor a subscription to your institution.

A NOTE FROM THE EDITOR

“For more than 20 years, Inside Higher Ed has been a trusted source of news and analysis for the higher education sector—reporting on the issues that matter most across the full ecosystem of U.S. colleges and universities.

To continue investing in high-quality, independent journalism, we’re evolving how readers access our reporting. Starting in April, we’ll ask readers to support our work by becoming paying subscribers, with a limited number of free articles available each month and a range of subscription options for individuals, groups, and institutions.

This shift ensures Inside Higher Ed can continue providing the context, insight, and coverage the sector depends on—now and in the years ahead.”
