Overview

The cost disease facing many institutions is made even more challenging in the arena of academic programs. The notion of “mission creep” continues to plague institutions already facing structural deficits, and many institutions are struggling to justify academic program realignment to faculty. What is needed is a metric-driven lens to view programs as promoting or detracting from academic mission and overall competitive position.

Join us for a webcast that will provide your institution with the keys to developing academic program cost and demand metrics. These metrics can help your institution control cost and subsequently improve mission quality and reputation among peer institutions.
