Enrollment Strategy

Admissions teams are struggling to adapt to demographic shifts, social media and new technologies, student and employer expectations, and parental involvement. In this dynamic context, schools must develop—and be able to quickly adjust—a higher education enrollment strategy tailored to their target populations.

Kennedy and Company’s team of enrollment consultants help college and universities identify the gaps in their enrollment funnel, as well as identify new, best practice strategies and tactics for admissions team to implement that exceed enrollment goals. Here are several ways we can do that.
