Progressive universities and colleges are already implementing data integration, data visualisation and analytics solutions across the student life cycle to empower decision-makers.
The goal is to go beyond descriptive statistics and reporting on what has happened in the past to providing a best assessment on what will happen in the future, according to business analytics provider SAS.
When you apply advanced analytics to this data across the student life cycle, you can:
- Generate deeper insight into students, the quality of student experiences and the external variables influencing their acceptance, retention and graduation rates
- Uncover patterns and trends to make informed, proactive decisions that improve asset utilisation, student experiences and outcomes
- Easily share information across institutional boundaries
