Crafting Smart Graduate Enrollment Goals by Harnessing Data

Setting graduate goals is notoriously difficult. In 2023, over one-third of surveyed graduate enrollment leaders reported missing their headcount goals but despite this, nearly 60% faced increased goals for 2024.

Although the specific metrics that should inform graduate enrollment goals may vary, data analysis is a universal first step in goal-setting.
