▼ Effective
enrollment management strategies are of utmost importance to ensure the health of higher education institutions. College student demographics are evolving and are especially challenging for colleges and universities. This means that colleges and universities must stay abreast of student needs and best practices to maintain student enrollments. However, while college attendance nationally has been increasing, healthy
enrollment numbers vary greatly across certain institutions. In a highly competitive marketplace, smaller, private, independent schools have been especially vulnerable. Yet research has been limited to help guide these institutions that enroll a substantial proportion of college students and are vital to the overall mission of higher education—particularly in the state of Florida. The current research sought to determine whether
enrollment change over time at the Independent Colleges and Universities of Florida (ICUF) differed by
enrollment strategies, and models. In addition, the study explored whether the effect of
enrollment strategies and models on
enrollment change over time was affected by ICUF institutional characteristics. The study was driven by the following research questions: (1) Are there any differences in the
enrollment change over time since 2007 based on
enrollment office model? (2) Are there any differences in the
enrollment change over time since 2007 based on characteristics of ICUF member institutions? (3) Are there any differences in the
enrollment change over time since 2007 by the strategies adopted based on ICUF member institutions? (4) Are there any differences in the effect of strategies on
enrollment change over time since 2007 based on characteristics of ICUF member institutions?
The research questions were examined using the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) and survey responses from
enrollment management offices regarding
enrollment management strategies, models, and programs used in four-year, private, nonprofit ICUF institutions in Florida. Results of the study indicated
enrollment management personnel varied by institution and showed an average leadership experience of more than 10 years and marketing budgets from 21,246 to 1 million. Most schools reported using the Committee model of
enrollment management which is usually the first adopted model formed to raise awareness of admissions and retention issues across an institution.
Enrollment change over time significantly differed by all institutional characteristics: higher positive
enrollment change was reported in institutions classified as non-HBCU, non-religious, primarily baccalaureate-granting, requiring admission test score, graduate degree offering, majority undergraduate, NCAA member, large, master’s designated, medium-level tuition and fees, and endowment size greater than 66 million. Significant differences were found among
enrollment strategies; for example, adaptive strategies, which address changes in market demand, showed significant but positive
enrollment change.…

▼ The purpose of this study was to determine the extent to which
enrollment management exists within the 15 community colleges in Mississippi. This study also obtained specific information on
enrollment management implementation, as well as the benefits and barriers to that implementation.
Analysis of the data collected in this study indicated the five major findings. First,
enrollment management concepts and practices have been implemented to some extent within the 13 community colleges surveyed. This was evident by the use of the word
enrollment within several of the titles of participants that were surveyed. Another
enrollment practice revealed was the
enrollment management structure used by the majority of the community colleges that participated in the study. The majority of the colleges reported either using the coordinator model, in which a midlevel manager oversees
enrollment management, or the division model, in which a vice-president is responsible for overseeing
enrollment management. The study also revealed that the majority of the community colleges reporting did not have a long-term
enrollment plan in place. Only a small percentage of the reporting institutions reported using any type of formal plan, and an even smaller percentage reported having a long-term
enrollment management plan in place. Second, all reporting institutions reported that improved graduation rates and student retention had been the received benefits of their current
enrollment management structure. Third, all reporting institutions reported understaffing and limited financial resources as a barrier to effectively implementing
enrollment management within their institution. The fourth major finding was that of the strategies listed within the survey, 100% reported using an increased collaboration with high schools as a strategy to increase
enrollment. This strategy was followed in frequency by the expansion of online courses and the presidents placing an emphasis on the importance of
enrollment management. The fifth major finding was that the majority of the reporting institutions felt that their current
enrollment management structure had met or exceeded their
enrollment management expectations.

A Dual-Level Approach To Enrollment Management.

▼ Increasing institutional dependency on tuition revenue paired with rising political pressures towards student success outcomes has many institutions turning to
enrollment management (EM) to improve their institution’s
enrollment outcomes. EM is a comprehensive and inclusive process focused on achieving the optimum recruitment, retention, and graduation institutional outcomes. The academic community remains at the epicenter of this EM process. Chief
enrollment officers failing to create an institutional partnership with the academic community will unlikely attain desired
enrollment outcomes.
This study seeks to assist institutions by assessing how a “shared sense of responsibility” for
enrollment outcomes is developed through the eyes of both chief
enrollment officers (CEnO) and key academic partners (KAP). In order to identify high-performing institutions practicing
enrollment management, the SEM Health Assessment survey is sent to 385 public four-year institutions across the United States comprising the 22 regional affiliate associations of National Association of College Admission Counselors (NACAC). Once high-performing institutions are identified, the researcher interviewed 20 participants from 12 institutions including 12 CEnOs and eight KAPs. This study is designed with a constructivist grounded theory approach to data collection and analysis.
The findings of this study suggest, institutions that are successfully drawing the academic community into their EM process do so by engaging EM at two levels of the institution, the central and local. This dual-level approach to EM creates the optimum environment for developing a “shared sense of responsibility” for
enrollment outcomes with the academic units. In order for each level to effectively work together, two institutional conditions must be established: credibility and transparency. Credibility is composed of executive support, data-informed decisions, and academic positioning. Transparency is composed of clear purposes and goals, open communication, and adequate opportunities for input and feedback. Each element should be addressed; however, the degree of importance of each element is tied to internal and external environmental influencers.

▼ This research examined the practice of strategic enrollment management in schools of public health (SPH) through an administrative orientation with a focus on admission and financial processes. While strategic enrollment management (SEM) has
been studied at great length at the undergraduate level, much less attention has been paid to SEM in professional schools. A qualitative research study of SEM was undertaken to examine the prevalence of SEM plans, concepts adopted, organizational
structure and perceived barriers to implementation. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with admissions representatives from 27 SPH. The study yielded several conclusions that are important to university administrators. First, SEM is conceptualized
through informal frameworks in SPH rather than through formal strategic enrollment management plans. Second, SPH organizational structures are centralized in terms of admissions and recruitment processes and decentralized in terms of decision-making
authority and yield-to-matriculation efforts. Furthermore, admissions representatives in SPH see collaboration as essential for meeting matriculation targets. Finally, polarities exist regarding the impact of tuition and financial aid structures on
enrollment management in SPH. SEM is complex, and there are contradictions between its aspirations and the day-to-day realities –exemplified through schools’ commitment to diversity, an educated and representative public health workforce and a
collaborative approach to strategic enrollment management within the context of a competitive and expanding market. Inevitably, there were limitations to the analysis. Admission representatives from only 27 of the 51 Council on Education and Public
Health (CEPH) accredited schools in the U.S. were interviewed, and other personnel from schools of public health – such as deans and faculty – were not interviewed. In addition, the study’s use of telephone interviews may have constrained data-gathering
due to the impersonal nature of the interaction. Nevertheless, master’s degree programs are growing dramatically across disciplines, and future research is warranted to further examine graduate enrollment management models. Ideally, results from this
study will inform SPH as they engage in conversations and undertake decisions regarding strategic enrollment management and pursue areas for prospective collaboration within their schools and institutions.

▼ College and university retention research indicates that institutional financial concerns, student behaviors, and organizational ethics all play a role in how educational officials make retention-based strategy decisions. However, gaps in the literature exist involving the interconnection between the acknowledgement of an enrollment issue, the corresponding creation of retention strategies, and the resulting comprehensive campus environment post-strategy implementation. This research study explored the impact of institutional retention strategies at one particular Mid-Atlantic college during a period of enrollment instability from 2010 through 2014. Specifically, this study reviewed the unintended consequences that developed as a result of the broad retention tactics used during this five-year period. Further, this research study investigated whether or not institutional values and/or operational interests were truly accounted for when designing and implementing these retention strategies. The researcher noted that these retention strategies contributed to secondary issues, which, in turn, may have undermined the institutions original retention objectives. By investigating the comprehensive impact of institutional retention strategy implementation, this study produced information that can be used at other colleges and universities when contemplating retention initiatives and best practices.

▼ This mixed-methods study examines admissions
professionals' consciousness and perceptions of the role that
institutional culture plays in attracting and enrolling
graduate-level students. This research identifies and describes how
graduate admissions professionals learn culture and how that
culture is communicated to applicants. Data were gathered through a
web-based survey that queried 102 admissions professionals at 236
graduate schools of theology throughout the United States of
America and Canada. Additionally, eight semi-structured interviews
were conducted with practitioners directly involved in
communicating culture to applicants. Survey and interview data were
triangulated with a document analysis of printed promotional
materials and website text. Findings suggest that graduate
admissions professionals consider culture a crucial factor in their
efforts to recruit potential students, regardless of such factors
as years of experience working in higher education or working
specifically in graduate admissions; professional title; or
school's religious denominational affiliation. Across these
categories, graduate admissions professionals perceive culture as a
leading factor in
enrollment decision making. Likewise, graduate
admissions professionals indicate that culture is highly and
intentionally incorporated into marketing and recruitment
strategies. Findings also indicate there is little difference in
how culture is viewed between those graduate admissions
professionals who have had direct institutional academic experience
as a current student/alumnus of the school and those graduate
admissions professionals who have not. Although the two populations
may experience different ways of learning culture, both indicated
similarly high perceptions of culture's importance in the
enrollment process. While digital technologies continue to create
new potentials for communication methods, face-to-face
communication – most notably through campus visits – is still viewed
by graduate admissions professionals as most effective. This
research highlights the importance of facilitating student
discernment within the larger context of the admissions
decision-making process. The findings also suggest that external
candidates who are hired for their admission expertise can learn
and communicate institutional culture effectively. Ultimately, this
study reveals culture's perceived importance in the admissions
process and its potential as a principal factor in
enrollment
decisions.

▼ Community colleges have been providing enrollment services using a variety of
methods for over 100 years. The use of the term “one-stop enrollment services center”
has been used in the last thirty years for certain enrollment service processes without
clearly prescribing what is involved in the development and delivery of services. This
product dissertation provides an example of how two community college one-stop
enrollment services areas were designed and also provides recommendations for
community colleges developing a one-stop enrollment center.
The challenge of taking many student service departments that have operated
separately under the general umbrella of enrollment services and converting them into an integrated center cannot be understated. Too often administrators want to oversimplify
the process of converting to a one-stop without understanding nuances of federal, state,
and college regulations that each department must observe.
The product described in this dissertation recommends a method for developing
an integrated one-stop. The design of the Collaborative Community College One-Stop
Enrollment Center emphasizes the need to include the staff from the earliest steps of
design and to employ transformational leadership to support the move to a one-stop
center.

▼ During the 1960s, a community college movement spread
across the United States providing for the expansion of education
beyond high school to local communities. Ohio took part in this
movement under the vision of Governor James A. Rhodes who wanted
community colleges established to provide technical training and
retraining to meet the needs of the changing workforce. The
two-year college expansion and
enrollment boom would not last
forever. Consequently, community colleges must learn to manage
enrollments with declining resources but increasing pressures and
goals both internally and externally. Effectively recruiting,
admitting, retaining, and graduating students are challenges for
these typically low-cost, open access alternatives to four-year
institutions. The purpose of this study is to assess how community
colleges in Ohio are practicing
enrollment management by obtaining
academic and non-academic perceptions of the existence and
effectiveness of the
enrollment management function and related
activities. An electronic survey was used to collect data for this
quantitative study. The bulk of the survey was made up of 63
Likert-type questions that collected perceived existence and
effectiveness data. There were 673 respondents in the final data
set with 83 percent having an academic role and 17 percent having a
non-academic role.Community colleges in Ohio are practicing
enrollment management by having
enrollment management plans in
place and most often use an
enrollment management division as an
enrollment model. In addition, academics believe that they are not
as knowledgeable, not as active, and should not have a more active
role in
enrollment management compared to non-academics. Most of
the activities evaluated are perceived to exist and be at least
moderately effective to neutral at the respondents’ community
colleges.Five new constructs were developed from principal
components analysis of the activities evaluated and then used for
multivariate analysis of variance. It was determined that there are
relationships between the
enrollment management organizational
model utilized and how
enrollment management is practiced. There
was a significant effect on respondents’ perceptions of the new
construct activities at community colleges in Ohio from the
interaction between the
enrollment model used and the institutions’
location.

▼ This study provides an understanding of how
administrative leaders make decisions regarding enrollment
management within academic units at a major research university in
the southwestern United States. Key enrollment management functions
of recruiting, admissions, marketing, orientation, financial
aid/scholarships, academic advising, student engagement, retention
and career services were identified from the literature. Typically
applied at the institutional level, this study provides an
understanding of how leaders in academic units decide to implement
enrollment management. A case study was conducted using qualitative
data collection methods which emphasized interviews. Senior
administrators, such as associate deans within academic units who
have responsibility for enrollment management, served as the
sample. Three main theoretical constructs were derived after
analysis of the data: Theoretical Construct 1: To meet enrollment
and retention goals, leaders strategically plan structures and
manage resources for enrollment management functions in their
academic units. Theoretical Construct 2: To increase retention,
leaders intentionally strive to develop a sense of community
through customized programs and services for students in their
academic units. Theoretical Construct 3: To achieve enrollment
objectives within a school-centric model, leaders build
relationships with centralized enrollment management functions and
other academic units. The discussion and analysis of the study
suggests that academic units follow a similar evolutionary model to
institutions as they develop enrollment management functions. Five
recommendations on how leaders in academic units can more
strategically utilize enrollment management principles in decision
making are offered.

▼ The purpose of this research was to see how Baccalaureate Construction Management Programs accredited by the American Council for Construction Education (ACCE) were managing increased enrollments within their programs. The review of literature identified related topics, comparable studies, and relevant issues surrounding over-enrollment. Forty-nine of the 53 accredited ACCE programs responded to the survey instrument. Over two-thirds of the respondents stated that they were either approaching, or were at the limits of enrollment capacities. Most of the respondents listed limited enrollment, the use of adjunct faculty, and funding from industry as leading strategies for managing or obtaining resources. Because CM programs will not be willing to sacrifice quality, more and more CM programs will implement limited enrollment controls. The demand for Construction Management graduates will continue to increase. As more CM programs initiate enrollment controls, it will become increasingly difficult for the construction industry to fill entry level positions with college graduates. Limited enrollment will create a deficit of qualified CM graduates needed by the industry. Because CM programs are having difficulties acquiring resources through the university, it may be necessary to acquire additional resources through industry. According to a number of program directors, one of the best ways to raise funds within industry is through the use of Industry Advisory Boards. Industry Advisory Boards can help in another critical aspect to the future expansion of CM programs; improve university perceptions about Construction Management education

▼ Institutional aid examined from the student and the
institutional perspective has proven to have a tremendous impact on
student choice and enrollment management. This dissertation
explores the strategic uses of institutional aid from a selective
private institution perspective and a student choice perspective
simultaneously at one institution by asking the following research
questions: What are the motivating forces behind institutional aid
allocation and how do these motivating forces influence student and
administrator action concerning aid and enrollment practices? How
does the shifting dynamic of the student and institution
relationship influence aid awards?
The researcher conducted a
two-stage sequential mixed methods study; interviews were conducted
with administrators in the enrollment management field and students
from the same institution to gain a better understanding of the
practices, motivators, and decision-making practices from both
parties. The results from phase 1 were used to break down the
enrollment process into five segments allowing the researcher to
isolate decision-making processes at each stage by looking into the
actions of the student and institution and how the two parties
influenced each other throughout the process. The breakdown was
guided by principal-agent theory, where the researcher argued that
the role of principal and agent was bidirectional, inter-changing
depending on the actions, motivating factors, and decision process
of each segment. The second phase used enrollment data to validate
and test the impact of a bidirectional relationship between the
student and institution with the use of logistic regression model
or a cluster analysis.
The results indicated that a complex
relationship exists between the student and institution as the role
of principal and agent interchange. The change in roles was
expressed by a shift in power dynamic, information asymmetry,
shirking, and actor motivation. Also, motivating factors impacted
decisions throughout the process, as such, motivating factors
influencing admissions decisions were different from decisions
concerning aid allocation, and a different set of motivators
influenced the appeal decision-making process from the institution
perspective. The overall results indicated that the relationship
developed between the student and institution greatly impacts
contract negotiations around enrollment when explored with the use
of principal-agent theory.

▼ This research study was conducted to determine if self-actualization, which is one of the goals of higher education and of the University of Utah College of Nursing, is being achieved or not, and to what extent. Senior students who are experiencing their last quarter in an undergraduate program could be expected to reflect an increase in the self-actualization attributes described by Maslow (1971), as a result of learning experiences which have emphasized development of potential, autonomous functioning, and concern for others. To determine if and to what extent self-actualization is being achieved by the senior students enrolled in the three senior courses. Psychosocial Nursing, Management of Patient Care, and Community Nursing, the following questions were raised to research the problem. The first question asked what the self-actualization levels of three groups of senior nursing students were at the following times: at the time of admission as sophomores, at the beginning of Spring Quarter of the senior year, and at the end of Spring Quarter of the senior year. The second question asked what differences in self-actualization occurred for the three groups of senior nursing students during the following times: from the beginning to the end of the Spring Quarter of the senior year, and from the time of admission as sophomores to the end of the Spring Quarter of the senior year. A sample of 55 senior students enrolled in three senior nursing courses at the University of Utah were administered the Personal Orientation Inventory (POI) at the beginning and at the end of Spring Quarter, 1977. Fifty of these students had taken the POI on admission as sophomores. Each subject also filled out a Consent Form and a Self-Report Inventory consisting of demographic data including age, family situation and previous nursing experience, The three testing were statistically analyzed utilizing one-way analysis of-variance. Since the POI measures obtained at three different time periods were true repeated measures, correlated t-tests were also obtained to analyze the changes which occurred in each group. Admission and beginning of Spring Quarter scores were found to be comparable for students enrolled in all three courses. Statistically significant differences among groups were found only on the end of Spring Quarter testing. On the subscale of Self-Regard (Sr), mean scores of students registered in Management of Patient Care were significantly different (F = 4.820, p = < .01) from mean scores of students registered in Community Nursing. A comparison between beginning and end of Spring Quarter POI mean scores for each group and Total Subjects showed that end of Spring Quarter scores of the Psychosocial Group, the Community Group, and Total Subjects were significantly higher than beginning of Spring Quarter on several of the POI scales. A comparison between admission and end of Spring Quarter POI mean scores for each group and Total Subjects showed that end of Spring Quarter scores were significantly higher than admission scores on…

▼ As unemployment rates have declined over the last decade, community college enrollments have also declined (American Association of Community Colleges, 2015; National Student Clearinghouse Research Center, 2017a). Since institutions in the California Community Colleges system are funded based on enrollment, enrollment declines lead to funding reductions for these already cash-strapped institutions. The objective of this research was to understand the role of teamwork around enrollment management at a California community college with a positive enrollment history. The theory of distributed leadership guided the investigation into leadership practices and processes at the institution. A total of 15 semi-structured interviews were conducted with employees at Western Community College (a pseudonym), including six administrators, five faculty members, and four classified staff members. Document analysis focused on accreditation and enrollment reports, collective bargaining agreements, planning documents, meeting minutes, and the college website.Three themes emerged from the data: the distribution of leadership, contested top-down leadership, and adaptation to state policy pressures. First, leadership was found to be distributed among senior administrators, deans, department chairs, and Enrollment Management Committee members, but not classified staff members. Followers exerted influence on the leadership around enrollment management. Second, the internal culture of top-down management influenced leadership around enrollment management and was a challenge to the process. And third, adapting to state policy pressures influenced leadership around enrollment management, and administrators saw this as the greatest challenge facing the enrollment management process. The results of this study imply the need for community college administrators to employ collaborative leadership approaches in enrollment management, for campus members to be steadfast in advocating for ethical change, and for system leaders in the California Community Colleges to provide intensive support for colleges adapting to statewide policy changes.

▼ This exploratory study investigated the relationships between enrollment management strategies and enrollment growth or decline between 2005 and 2009 within member institutions of the Council for Christian Colleges and Universities (CCCU). The study employed a quantitative survey research design that identified usage of strategies in the areas of admissions, retention, curricular changes, marketing, external stakeholders, academic quality, commitment to mission, and strength of organizational leadership.
The research focused on four questions:
1. What are the demographic characteristics among respondents within the sample?
2. What enrollment models are currently in place at CCCU member institutions?
3. What strategies and programs are currently in use at CCCU member institutions to influence enrollment objectives and performance?
4. What relationship can be determined between enrollment strategies and enrollment performance between 2005 and2009?
Data were collected through an online survey of 108 CCCU institutions. The survey was completed by 45 chief enrollment administrators from 45 member institutions of the CCCU. The research findings suggest implications for the work of senior leadership teams within the CCCU, namely the need to be diligent in the examination of the various enrollment management strategies and the interdependency among these strategies toward the overall outcome of enrollment growth and/or decline. Future studies should include longitudinal study on specific institutions and reported strategies. In addition, examining additional independent, small liberal arts institutions and other enrollment management strategies may lead to a greater understanding of best practices to increase enrollment performance. Attention to these implications and recommendations will contribute to the enrollment management field and, ultimately, the viability of small independent colleges.

Ed.D.
Enrollment management structures, models, and activities have been embraced by many colleges and universities as an institutional practice. Some institutions, however, experience challenges to implementation because of a lack of human and financial resources, campus understanding and awareness. For minority serving institutions, particularly a number of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), this is the case. Shifts in student populations, policy, internal and external challenges exist. These challenges are evident at the HBCU (called Truth University in this document) where the current study was conducted. First, leadership at the HBCU questioned whether the financial investment was worth onboarding enrollment management. Second, there has been unstable leadership which impeded the critical decision making process necessary to support enrollment management. Finally, there was a question of whether enrollment management practices were an affordable and feasible option at Truth University with low enrollment numbers and constant staff turnover. This study examined faculty and administrators’ perceptions of enrollment management practices at this Historically Black College and University on the East Coast. Purposeful sampling of a cross section of 124 faculty and administrators employed at the institution with direct and indirect influence on enrollment management was used. Data were collected on the various enrollment components including: marketing, recruitment, academic advising, career services, academic support, institutional research, orientation, and financial aid, retention, and student services. Survey questions sought responses to the existence, effectiveness and the importance of 54 individual enrollment management components at the institution. Additional data were collected on two additional questions regarding the perceived existing enrollment management structure at the institution and the perceived enrollment management structure most important to effective enrollment management implementation at the institution. With only a few exceptions, faculty and administrators exhibited an overall lack of awareness of enrollment management practices at Truth University. To the extent that they are aware of what practices exist at Truth, they generally feel that the activities are not effective. However, the respondents acknowledge the importance of enrollment components. Interestingly, there were few differences between the faculty and the administrators in these perceptions. The implications of these results for Truth University were discussed in light of these findings.

▼ The purpose of this inductive study was to understand how academic and non-academic factors influence the college choice decision-making process of women enrolled in online doctoral programs. The study was based on two critical premises: (1) the factors and characteristics found in present literature concerning graduate student college choice are relevant, and (2) that some of these factors vary in importance and significance due to participants' individual experiences and the nature of the environment (physical/geographical vs. virtual/online). This study asked: How do academic and non-academic factors influence the college choice decision of women who enroll in online doctoral programs? Data was collected from 15 semi-structured, laddered interviews designed to uncover how institutional characteristics, perceived benefits (or consequences), and personal values influenced participants' decision to enroll in an online doctoral program. Participants represented women of variable race/ethnicity, who identified as female both in gender identity and biology, were over the age of 30 years, resided in the U.S., and were enrolled in or graduated from a regionally accredited online doctoral program within the last five years (from 2011 to 2016). Findings show six major influencing factors impacted the decision-making process and college choice decision for participants: flexibility, access, cost, value/investment, reputation, and personal considerations. Each factor identified was either directly or indirectly present within participant narratives, reflective of the influences that occurred with the most frequency. Conclusions reached include that flexibility, access, and cost were central influencing factors across the narrative. Factors such as value/investment, reputation, and personal considerations acted as supporting influences within the decision-making process. Additionally, factors identified by participants as influential within the decision-making process did not always directly contribute to their college choice decision due to external pressures, but these same factors did affect participants' satisfaction and success within their selected program of choice.

▼ A major focus of charter school research has been the potential impact of increased school choice on student sorting by race/ethnicity and socio-economic status. Researchers have argued that charter schools may increase segregation by allowing families to separate into more homogeneous school communities. Yet surprisingly, little attention has been paid to the role charter schools themselves may play in determining student enrollments. Emerging evidence suggests that charter schools may frequently take into account nearby educational and demographic characteristics when choosing school locations and avoid neighborhoods with high-proportions of at-risk students who are more costly and challenging to educate. While this behavior is not incompatible with traditional notions of how education marketplaces function, such "positioning strategies" serve as important reminders that charter schools benefit most by locating in areas where they hold clear competitive advantages, not necessarily areas of greatest demand or educational need. In this dissertation, I examined the potential for New Jersey charter schools to effectively distribute educational opportunities to all students, particularly those most frequently targeted by previous approaches to school reform, across varied and often segregated landscapes. Drawing on rational choice theory and previous research into the profit maximizing behavior of firms, I argued that charter schools have strong incentives to locate in areas that allow them to effectively balance consumer demand with the potential negative effects of increased competition in high needs areas. I used geographic information systems (GIS) and logistic regression to map the location of charter schools in New Jersey and examine potential associations with supply side factors. New Jersey's charter school supply showed two distinct clustering patterns. First, charter schools tended to circle Abbott districts or low-performing school districts in a narrow five mile band characterized by greater educational need and, presumably, consumer demand. Second, charter schools in Abbott districts tended to circle, but not locate within, neighborhoods with higher levels of educational and economic disadvantage, and particularly neighborhoods with higher proportions of African American residents. Logistic regression confirmed statistically significant associations among charter school clusters and proxies for market demand, educational need, and neighborhood diversity, although estimates for race/ethnicity were less conclusive. Further analysis indicated that observed clustering patterns were primarily driven by more market savvy or entrepreneurial schools partnered with charter management organizations (CMOs).

▼ The marketing of higher education began in earnest during the early 1970s and was given an especially prominent role in the late 1970s and early 1980s when colleges and universities witnessed large declines in applicant pools (Mahoney, 2006). Since that time, the marketing of higher education has continued to be a vital factor in the livelihood of colleges and universities. When colleges and universities are focusing on such strategic plans as increasing the strength, size, and diversity of incoming classes, marketing is an imperative component to the success of the strategic goals.
Since 2009, Master of Business Administration (MBA) programs across the United States have seen application numbers diminish at alarming rates. In 2012, MBA programs experienced a 22% decline in the median of full-time applications (GMAC, 2012). Moreover, 71% of MBA programs in the Midwest experienced a decline in applications. Because of this decline, competition for qualified prospective MBA students is at a high level (GMAC, 2012).
In this study, the researcher used the five-level model of relationship marketing to examine how relationship marketing is used on MBA program websites, applied the combination of the marketing mix and relationship marketing theories to identify marketing factors (the 5Ps of marketing: price, product, place, promotion, and people), analyzed relationships between the 5Ps of marketing, and identified factors that influence application levels and matriculation yield. The study randomly sampled 120 AACSB-accredited MBA programs from across the United States. Data for the traditional marketing mix factors (price, product, place, and promotion) and the dependent variables (application levels and matriculation yield) were obtained through various MBA program publications and MBA program websites. The relationship marketing variable (people) data were obtained through the results of the five-level model website content analysis.
Descriptive statistics were used to examine institutional and MBA program-specific background characteristics. A Pearson correlation was conducted to explore the strength and direction of relationships between the five independent variables, and a multiple regression was performed to determine predictors of application levels and matriculation yield.
The results revealed that most MBA programs do not utilize website relationship marketing to its full potential. Faculty relationship marketing ranked the highest, with admission professionals and current students being used sparingly and alumni being used the least. The regression analysis found that the product variable is the strongest predictor of application levels and that price, product, place, and people are the strongest predictors of matriculation yield.

▼ The new millennium introduced an increased demand for
admission to the University of California. Predictions were that
between the years 2000 and 2010 that it would need to grow by more
than 50,000 students – 5,000 students annually – to accommodate
Tidal Wave II, the children of the Baby Boomers who would be
seeking a UC education. Such rapid expansion posed challenges for
the University and its leaders. As a means of accommodating the
anticipated rapid increase in
enrollment, the summer term was
identified by the State to receive funding for the reduction of
student fees with the intention of attracting increased student
participation in the summer.; Through interviews with the provost
of the UC system, policy analysts and divisional leaders at four
sites within the University; three campuses and the University
Office of the President, this study identified changes in the
leadership roles of divisional leaders as they implemented
strategies and structural changes for summer
enrollment management.
Understanding the impact of changes that a State funded summer term
brought to the structure and mission of the Summer Sessions' units
on the campuses was also explored.; This study found that
divisional leaders engaged in collaborative efforts and formed
strategic campus partnerships in order to move their
enrollment
management agendas forward.; Summer divisional leaders have had a
pivotal role in shaping
enrollment goals, fee structures and
advising infrastructures for their organizations. With this change
in their roles, they are now leading organizations which have
adapted to dramatically shifting
enrollment patterns and changes in
their economic models.; Recommendations for future practice include
clearly articulating that summer should continue to be a permanent
part of the academic planning mission, both as it relates to
curriculum implications and related economic considerations. As the
predicted decade of Tidal Wave II
enrollment increases plays out, a
continuing issue for summer divisional leaders will be to maintain
a balance between maintaining core curriculum that assists students
in timely progress toward their degrees, building and maintaining
innovative, new programming, and meeting the expected
enrollment
goals for summer expansion within a State funded
economy.

▼ This study examined the work experiences of individuals who perform recruitment activities for the California State University. Based at four campus settings, the objectives were to: 1) analyze the ways in which professionals regard and enact system-wide and institutional
enrollment management policies; 2) explore their professional orientations in regards to college access; and 3) examine the congruence of system-wide and institutional formal policy and the perspectives of different groups of professionals.The analysis centered on two levels, the institutional and the ground level perspective. The principal data sources that informed the study were interviews and campus level and system-wide documents. To frame the data gathering and analysis, two theories were used to understand the perspectives of the set of professionals; the study modified the classic conceptualization of `street-level bureaucrats' (Lipsky, 1969) and latent social roles of professionals (Gouldner, 1954). For the broader organizational perspective, the study relied on institutional theory and academic capitalism in the new economy to offer context to the university's move to
enrollment management. Findings indicate that professionals varied in how they enacted recruitment practices depending on the institutional context. So, while
enrollment management practices are being implemented at the Cal State system, the extent to which the actions were strategic was dependent on the campus environment and the priorities of that university.

▼ Enrollment management practices clearly influence college student success. Retention and graduation rates are critical measures for institutions of higher education, particularly measures involving increased first-year retention rates, four-year graduation rates, and six-year graduation rates. Improving student success is paramount concern for college and university leaders. This concern has yielded a body of literature addressing the role of
enrollment management in higher education as well as the development of various college student success programs. Specifically within the overarching concept of
enrollment management are transition strategies which influence college student success.
The purpose of this study was to understand the influence of
enrollment management transition strategies on college student success at large, public U.S. higher education institutions as categorized by the Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education (2010). Minimal research exists regarding the use of
enrollment management transition strategies on the first-year retention rate and the four- and six-year graduation rates. Therefore, this study was intended to further higher education's understanding of these strategies.
Data for this quantitative study were derived from an online survey which was disseminated to chief
enrollment officers at large, public U.S. higher education institutions as categorized by the Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education (2010). The number of respondents was 87, which was a 45% response rate. An analysis of variance, Pearson's Product Moment Coefficient, Dependent
t-test for Paired Samples, and descriptive statistics were used for statistical analysis. All data were self-reported by the chief
enrollment officer or their designee at these surveyed higher education institutions.
While the findings did not clearly indicate statistically significant findings regarding the relationship of
enrollment management transition strategies on college student success, the data garnered from the study was indicative of a relationship between the
enrollment management transition strategy employed and the change in the first-year retention rate and the four-year graduation rate at these institutions surveyed. Further, the study indicated that additional research with students and faculty should be conducted so as to capture the full breadth of the influence of
enrollment management transition strategies on college student success.

▼ The application of Predictive Modeling within
enrollment management provides a tremendous tool for building and shaping future enrollments for institutions of higher education. Though the practice of predictive modeling is a well known application in private business practices, the use of predictive modeling in
enrollment management has only recently been employed since 1990s. The independent higher education consulting firm Noel-Levitz popularized the introduction of predictive modeling as a method of providing
enrollment management professionals in higher education the opportunity to forecast the possible enrolling classes of students in their institutions.
This study followed a recommended strategy for application of predictive modeling for
enrollment management. Stephen DesJardins, Ph.D., from the University of Michigan published a methodology for applying predictive modeling to the process of recruiting and admitting students in an attempt to provide institutions who were actively involved in predictive modeling programs, or those who could not afford independent consulting organizations who provided predictive modeling services. The recommended method of predictive modeling as prescribed by DesJardins will be adapted to an entering class of freshmen at a large, public 4-year institution of higher education in the Southwest. The class of 2009 will be analyzed in order to build a model of predictive modeling which will then subsequently be applied to the class of 2010. The effectiveness of both the model and the application were analyzed for effectiveness, since both of these classes have already matriculated.

▼ The purpose of this study was to investigate the ways that admitted college students engage on Twitter over a designated hashtag. Using a modified version of Tinto's (1994) theory of student departure, as well as the tenets of widely-accepted college-decision models, as a guiding framework to understand student engagement, this study sought to better describe the type of and quantity of pre-matriculation interaction that takes place between potential students and an institution of higher education. This study analyzed more than 10,000 tweets and retweets containing a designated hashtag during a three week period. A computer-aided content analysis (CACA) was conducted, whereby account types, content of messages, and timing of messages were coded. By utilizing unique methods to collect and analyze the data, this study allows for a more in-depth understanding of the use of social networking sites (SNS) for
enrollment management and the college-decision process.

Do Health Insurance Policies which Split Children within the Same Household into Different Publicly-financed Programs Affect Rates of Enrollment or Utilization of Basic Health Care Services?.

▼ BackgroundA child’s eligibility for publicly-financed insurance is based upon household factors such as family income and state of residence, as well as a child’s own characteristics including age and citizenship status. As a result, eligibility policies can fracture children living in the same household into different eligibility categories for insurance programs. PurposeThis analysis considers two questions. First, it investigates whether children living in households in which siblings are split by eligibility into different insurance programs, or between eligibility and ineligibility, are more likely to be uninsured compared to children who are eligible for the same program as their siblings. Second, the analysis examines whether children who receive insurance from a different publicly-financed program compared to one or more siblings, including covered children who have uninsured siblings, have lower rates of utilization for basic health services compared to children with the same publicly-financed coverage as their siblings. Methods The 2008 Current Population Survey Annual Social and Economic Supplement is used for the eligibility analysis. The population consists of children who are eligible for Medicaid or CHIP, reside in states with separate CHIP programs, and live with at least one other child. The 2008 Survey of Income and Program Participation is used for the utilization analysis. The population consists of children who are enrolled in a publicly-financed insurance program and who live with at least one other child. The services examined include an annual physician visit, an annual dental visit, and use of dental sealants. Logistic regression is used for both analyses.ResultsThe eligibility analysis does not find a significant difference in the odds of being uninsured among children in split-eligible households compared to those in households in which all children are eligible for the same program. The second analysis finds that split-enrolled children have lower odds of having had a dental visit in the last year compared to children in uniformly-enrolled households, and the same odds of having had a physician visit and of having used dental sealants. Two unexpected findings are notable. Children covered by CHIP had lower odds of having obtained each service compared to children with Medicaid. Children living in Medicaid Expansion states also appeared to have more equitable access to services across personal and household characteristics compared to children in separate CHIP states (although this was not examined for statistical significance).ConclusionsThese findings suggest that split-eligibility and split-enrollment do not pose the obstacle to children’s enrollment in coverage and access to care as hypothesized. Dental visits were the exception. Two unexpected findings raise questions about variations in access to care among children covered by publicly-financed insurance. Greater attention is warranted to explore ways in which Medicaid and Medicaid Expansion states may be outperforming…

▼ Enrollment management is a major component within the organizational structure of most four-year universities today. However, this is not necessarily the case with community colleges. With the continual decrease in public funding and increased competition with private colleges and universities, public community colleges are now being forced to recognize the need for managing their enrollments more closely. This study examines administrators' perceptions of
enrollment management practices at the comprehensive public associate's colleges in Alabama. This study surveyed administrators from 21 comprehensive community colleges within the state of Alabama. Participants surveyed included presidents, chief student affairs officers, chief academic officers, chief financial officers, directors of admissions, registrars, directors of financial aid, directors of recruitment, directors of counseling/advising, public relations officers, institutional researchers, and
enrollment managers. The survey collected data that pertained to activities related to various elements of
enrollment management: marketing, recruitment, academic advising, career services, learning assistance, institutional research, orientation, financial aid, retention, and student services. The questions surveyed the availability and importance of a particular activity and the effectiveness of the component at their respective institutions. The final portion of the survey instrument gathered information concerning the organization of
enrollment management structures. And lastly, the remaining open-response question asked for any perceived barriers to developing or implementing an
enrollment management plan at their respective institutions. Results indicated that most
enrollment management components identified within this study were available, important, and effective. However, significant findings indicated that retention and academic advising were two integral components that were lacking within many of the respondents' institutions. In addition, it was determined that only about a half of all respondents indicated that their institution had a formal
enrollment management plan. Given the future consequences of an unmanaged
enrollment, community colleges in the state of Alabama, and across the country, must recognized the importance of
enrollment management concepts and practices in order to be successful in the coming future. Appendices include the raw data which includes the Carnegie geographic classifications (rural, suburban, and urban). (Published By University of Alabama Libraries)

▼ This dissertation is an empirical investigation of student level observations of 11 cohorts of first-time full-time freshmen from a public, land-grant, research university in Appalachia. Complete with student financial aid offerings, socioeconomic status, and pre-college academic characteristics such as standardized test scores and high school GPA, I investigate the data to examine institutional behavior constrained by resource dependence. The variable of interest is institutional financial aid. Institutional financial aid awards are monetary concessions presented to students as a means to discount the overall price a student pays to enroll. As institutional aid is a direct mechanism through which the institution can influence a student’s decision to attend, I argue it is a mechanism through which researchers can shed light on institutional priorities and goals in the context of a resource dependent institution of higher education. As this data spans twelve years and provides both pre and post-recession (2009-10) observations, I gain great leverage in examining institutional aid awards longitudinally. I use multivariate regression and summary statistics to evaluate my research questions guided by a theoretical framework supported by extant financial aid literature.

▼ Admission to medical school is key to addressing medically underserved communities because over 90% of medical students graduate and become physicians. Yet, members of populations most likely to serve medically underserved communities as physicians remain chronically underrepresented in medical education despite initiatives aimed at increasing their representation among medical students. Meanwhile, traditional determinants of medical school admission fail to fully predict success in medical school, but have a disparate impact on applicants from underrepresented populations. Other determinants are underexplored, especially undergraduate institutional prestige. This study used a quantitative case study approach to examine the relationship between undergraduate institutional prestige, admission to medical school, and potential to serve medically underserved communities via specialty. Using a synthesis of the frameworks of symbolic capital, the iron triangle, and manifest and latent functions as a lens, this study analyzes (1) the relative impact of undergraduate institutional prestige on predicting admission to medical school holding constant the effect of traditional determinants of admission to medical school (i.e., MCAT, GPA), (2) how undergraduate institutional prestige varies by admissions stage, and (3) the relationship between undergraduate institutional prestige and specialty. Overall, findings show that undergraduate institutional prestige is important throughout the medical school admissions process; yet, undergraduate institutional prestige is not related to specialty. Nonetheless, findings imply preferences for applicants from more prestige undergraduate institutions may be contradictory to fulfilling organizational missions concerned with addressing healthcare disparities.

▼ Although master's institutions enroll a substantial student population in the United States, a large percentage of which are minorities, relatively little has been written with regard to how master's institutions approach
enrollment management. This mixed methods study examines the
enrollment priorities and recruitment strategies of master's institutions to reveal how master's institutions are prioritizing their commitments to institutional quality, access, and financial stability, the types of recruitment strategies these institutions are utilizing to uphold their commitments, and the impact of these recruitment strategies, particularly upon issues of access. The study also makes use of a theoretical framework informed by academic capitalism theory, game theory, and institutional theory to explain why master's institutions may be prioritizing certain
enrollment goals and adopting particular recruitment strategies. Findings from this study suggest master's institutions may be embracing market-oriented
enrollment behaviors that prioritize revenue maximization, consequently reinforcing the advantages of the privileged and serving as vehicles for social reproduction.

▼ Individuals, institutions, and society are affected by whether or not students persist in college; therefore, persistence and retention on college campuses is an important topic for higher education systems. However, little research has been done on program retention. Since engineering as a profession is expected to increase, it is imperative to have students persist in the major. The primary purpose of this study is to determine the influence of selected demographic and academic characteristics in the decision of first time in college (FTIC) traditional-age undergraduates who declare engineering as their major at admission to persist in the curriculum from second to third year at a small private university in the southeastern portion of the United States. The target population for this study was defined as the first time in college (FTIC) traditional-age undergraduate students who declared engineering as their major when they were admitted in the fall 2005 and 2006 semesters. For the research instrument, 20 independent variables were collected from Admissions’, Student Financial Services’, the Registrar’s, and Academic Services’ databases and transferred to a computerized recording form. Using stepwise multiple discriminant analysis, the researcher identified a significant model that increased the researcher’s ability to accurately explain the persistence of FTIC traditional-age undergraduate students who declared engineering as their major when they were admitted. The model correctly classified 79.1% of the cases, which was a 58.2% improvement over chance. The researcher recommended further studies to increase the percentage of correctly classified cases by integrating these variables with others to further explain persistence/non-persistence. Variables she suggested were the amount of the student’s financial aid portfolio, as well as high school math courses taken by the student and the grades he/she earned. The researcher found that many of the non-persisting students had pre-college academic success, and so the researcher recommends that the institution conduct exit interviews to find out why these students chose to not persist in Engineering. She also recommends the implementation of a learning community, a living and learning environment that combines social and academic integration for the students.

▼ This quantitative study focuses on ten small, private colleges and universities affiliated with the Kansas Collegiate Athletic Association of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA). The research question examines the relationship between increased per-student athletic spending and application volume, admissions and overall
enrollment gains at member institutions.
The literature review examines the positive impact that athletics has on admissions at large NCAA colleges and universities. Research concerning strategic
enrollment management, the economics of athletics, the return on investment (ROI) of athletic expenditures and college choice theory are surveyed. Limited literature references small colleges.
The quantitative study analyzed historical data using a logistical regression design. The findings reveal that increases in per-student athletic spending had no statistically significant effect over the 14-year study period. Findings did show that an increase in institutional per-student spending did have a modest effect on both admissions admission applications and
enrollment; however, the results were non-significant.
Recommendations suggest that small colleges and universities may struggle over time to sustain exponential athletic expenditures if
enrollment gains are not realized in tandem with spending.
