Keys to Engaging and Enrolling Prospective Graduate Students

Thursday, September 11th | 2pm ET
How can you compete for graduate students more effectively? What strategies will help you meet the expectations of prospective graduate students and position your programs more competitively?
 
Join us for this informative webinar as we dive into new research from the 2025 Graduate Student Recruitment Report, a survey of 1,400 prospective and recently enrolled graduate students. During the session, the presenters will discuss:
 
  • The motivations, influences, and concerns of prospective graduate students about pursuing graduate education.
  • How students interact with web searches, digital advertising, and AI while they research programs of study.
  • The communication preferences of students from first contact through enrollment, including frequency of communication and channel preferences.
  • How students make their final enrollment decisions.
 
With the insights from this webinar and research, you'll be able to align your marketing and recruitment strategies with the behaviors and expectations of the students you are trying to enroll.
