Program and Portfolio Evaluation
Program Viability Assessor
From single to multiple offerings, our objective Program Viability Assessor is powered by a robust methodology to better measure the market potential for any type of degree or certificate program. This could be for a potential new program or an existing program that needs re-evaluation. We consider various Market Driver Areas such as the Education Market, Labor Market, Regional Factors, Competition and Brand to provide a holistic view of the market for the program or programs we are evaluating.
Strategic Portfolio Reviews
Customized growth plans and resource forecasts to promote the success of new programs.Using some of the same methodology built within the Program Viability Assessor (PVA), we can take a strategic view of a complete portfolio either within a specific discipline or for an institution as a whole. This enables decisions leading to the right mix of programs based on market potential and brand strength.
Business and Executive Education Reviews
Online Graduate Business Market Scan
With limitations in official reporting through IPEDS, the Market Research team completed a full market scan and analysis of online business master programs. This provides a better understanding of which are the most popular programs as well as specializations/concentrations. What programs should be included for a successful portfolio and how many programs are needed.
Business and Executive Education Certificate Model
Using labor data and search volumes over time, we have created a unique assessment of the market potential of 350+ different business-related certificate topics. This new model provides a view of the business certificate landscape and what topics demonstrate opportunities.
