Survey of the Higher Education Landscape 2023

Our latest Survey of the Higher Education Landscape Report provides a comprehensive and nuanced perspective on the future of higher education, rooted in empirical data, expert analysis, and a profound recognition of the real-world challenges faced by both students and institutions.

Data-guided marketing experts for higher education

We focus our primary and secondary research on the need, motivations, activity and intentions of current, recent and prospective students. The result? Actionable insights that tell you what students are likely to do, not what they would like to do. We start with primary research first to capture the freshest and most relevant data for your decision making. Base your programs and offerings on the actual behavior of real students to increase inquiries and enrollments.

Market Analysis

What do adult, post-traditional and graduate students demand of the institutions in which they enroll? We’ll conduct and analyze primary research that uncovers the demands and preferences of your prospective students. Gain the insights and data that helps schools increase enrollments by identifying effective programs, schedules, services, marketing and messaging.

Program Feasibility Studies

Our expert analysts conduct market research based on publicly available data and proprietary methods to measure feasibility and demand for launching new programs and growing existing programs. We’ll uncover and analyze competing programs in the market and identify opportunities to capitalize on unmet demand. Get the roadmap you need, backed by data, to shape, position, and market in-demand programs.

Lost Student Studies

Unlock the riddle that confounds institutions and impairs growth. Our experts will discover what stopped your prospective students from enrolling and caused existing students to leave before completing the program. Fine-tune outreach, marketing, and cultivation techniques to increase yield and improve retention by better understanding what attracted people to an institution, why they did not enroll, or why they decided to “stop-out/drop-out”.

Our consultants survey and interview campus stakeholders, analyze your market and measure your current state and position in the market.
