In today’s fiscal environment for higher education, colleges and universities can’t afford to be inefficient or ineffective—the margin for financial sustainability is too narrow. Academic programs play a critical role in that sustainability, as they are both a primary selling point for prospective students and a major expense, often 40 to 50 percent of an institution’s total budget. But balancing academic demand with revenue needs requires leaders from Academic Affairs, Finance, and Enrollment Management to work together.

 

Register for this on-demand webinar to learn the essential topics you need to create the ideal program mix to meet your institution’s enrollment and revenue goals, such as:

• The importance of demand, both external (inquiries) and internal (graduates) for making program decisions.
  
• Revenue, cost, and contribution margin–how to calculate it and how it should influence the choices an institution makes.
  
• Developing a program mix matrix that guides you as you make decisions about resource allocation.
  
• How to encourage collegiality and foster teamwork with the academic and financial areas at your institution.
