Adult Student Enrollment Decision Making Priorities
Session Type
Thinking (Concurrent Session): 60-75 minutes
Session Description
What are the most important factors in an adult student’s enrollment decision? What is most important to them as they sit down to select an institution? Decision-making data gathered from recent Aslanian market studies will be presented with an eye on helping attendees understand the criteria that are weighed most heavily -- and not -- in deciding on their institution of choice. These patterns will lead to a discussion on motivation, institutional messaging, and the relative importance of cost, quality, reputation, convenience, and much more.
