The Future of Academic Program Evaluation: Using Predictive Analytics to Optimize Mission, Markets, and Margins
What programs offer the greatest return on investment in their growth? Will cutting programs really save money? Program decisions are critical to your students, your faculty, and your mission. They also directly affect the financial health of the institution. How can you make sure you get it right? We will discuss data, methodologies, and tools that help decision-makers predict how changes to the program portfolio will change the institution’s financial future.
Learning Objectives:
- Evaluate the effects of program decisions on your institution’s bottom line
- Project how growing or closing programs will affect the economics of the institution and its departments and programs
- Invest in programs that will increase enrollment and margins
- Avoid common and costly mistakes, like cutting small programs that make money
- Best practices for evaluating data partners and making data-driven clinical development programs successful
