Analyzing tuition strategy through a research-based approach is essential for understanding each school's unique market.
These campuses are also more likely than other kinds of institutions to enroll students from lower-income families and who are the first in their families to go to college, the Baltimore-based Art & Science Group consulting firm found.
The highest percentage of soon-to-be college students are opting out of attending Texas colleges and universities due to the Lone Star state’s politics, according to a new study.
That’s one of the main findings from a new survey released by the Art & Science Group, a higher-education consulting firm. The percentage of students saying they ruled out a college based on the political leanings of a state increased slightly from a similar survey conducted by the group last year, which found 24% of students indicating their college choice would be affected by such factors.
Art & Science Group, which conducted the surveys, found that 28% dismiss schools based on state politics. And two-thirds of those students do so right out of the gate. “That's somewhat alarming, because obviously the colleges and universities don't have a choice,” said Craig Goebel, a principal at Art & Science Group.
