What's New at Emerson College?

Emerson College President Lee Pelton also addressed high tuition costs

Emerson College President Lee Pelton joined NECN to talk about how the school is getting students ready for the work force.

The demand for an Emerson education is the highest it's ever been, President Pelton said.

The college just launched a program where students can open their own business in a two-year period.

President Pelton said that he recognizes that the high prize of college tuition is problematic for many families.

"Colleges have stepped up marvelously with respect to the financial aid that they provide," President Pelton said. "The wonderful thing about American higher education is that you have many choices. The diversity there allows students to go to a variety of places and sometimes it's a matter of choosing the right place."
