Your ad in our high-impact daily news environment will be seen by a nationwide audience of key decision makers in higher education.

Inside Higher Ed reaches across all levels in higher education. More than 40% of our readers are academics and another 30% are administrators in key institutional areas such as development, student services, financial aid, and business affairs. Finally, 20% of Inside Higher Ed’s readers hold executive level titles – deans, vice presidents, presidents and chancellors.

And talk about reach: we had 350,000 unique visitors come to the site in the last 30 days for more than one million pages views (as measured by WebTrends). We now send the daily e-mail to nearly 50,000 subscribers–and those numbers are growing every month.
