Annenberg Hall 345: Mon 6:00PM - 9:00PM

Overview of class

Students learn the foundation and structure of the enrollment management process, which spans recruitment, admissions, financial aid, retention, and graduation. Higher education professionals are charged with understanding and applying the policies, practices, and tradeoffs necessary to support student success, reflect an institution's values, and achieve its enrollment-related objectives. Students discuss how these professionals address enrollment trends and challenges facing U.S. higher education (e.g. changing demographics, affordability, competition amongst colleges and universities, attitudes regarding the value of higher education, disparities in access to and attainment of college credentials, standardized testing). Students begin the course reflecting on their own college choice and application experience. We deepen our understanding of enrollment management through discussion of real enrollment data, analyzing real case studies, and evaluating enrollment-related policy.
