Context is crucial

Like a lot of enrollment professionals, I start with data.
But that’s far from sufficient. Unless that data is transformed into insight, it’s just numbers or images on a page. Even then, without your context, your history, and your aspirations, a solution is just a recipe.
I want to know what it means. That’s how intuition, honed with over 40 years of experience, works: I put your data in industry context to show you if—and how—your challenges are unique.
Discount Rates
Discount rates are important measures of your private college’s financial health. But they don’t tell the whole story.
New Markets
Where do you begin to look for ways to expand your footprint? Compare your footprint to your competitors.
Yield Rates
There is a simple reason your yield rate has been going down. And it’s probably not what you think.
Graduation Rates
There are two ways to think about improving graduation rates. Let me show you the one I think works best.
Pricing
You can look up your competition’s sticker price easily. Did you know you can see net price, too?
Degrees Awarded
Are your curricular offerings keeping up with your main competitors? Are there programs you can or should add?
Enrollment Planning
Who does your enrollment planning, and how is it informed? Aspiration and reality can be in conflict.
Diversity
Is there a way to see how you stack up to other institutions in your state or region, or other institutions like you nationwide?
Alumni Success
Are your students doing remarkable things you didn’t even know about? How can you tell?
