As you come down the home stretch for this academic year, here are some ways that you can improve your college/university bottom line for 2016-2017.
Recently Blackboard published a data-driven retention improvement study that said the typical college loses $9,000,000/year by not fixing their retention and graduation challenges.
The key to fixing retention and graduation is using the right forms of pre and post-matriculation and factor analysis, and The Higher Education Practice, LLC can help!
The Chronicle of Higher Education also recently published several articles regarding colleges/universities that are trying to improve their bottom line by streamlining their academic programs. Please review the presentation we recently did for Academic Impressions that combines Strategic Planning by the Numbers, Optimizing Academic Balance and Retention and Graduation improvement into a fluid process that can improve your bottom line for 2016-2017.
