Dive Brief:

• Collegis Education is offering a new free tool for colleges to use to find and analyze enrollment trends.
• Users of the College Enrollment Trend tool can compare three schools at a time on student enrollment, high school graduation rates, racial makeup, gender, and state.
• The tool makes use of data collected by the National Center of Education Statistics over a 10-year span.

Dive Insight:

The tool is important, according to the Collegis Managing Director Bob King, because colleges and universities are competing for a pool of students that is shrinking, and their analysis of different student demographic groups and acceptance, enrollment, and graduation rates for those groups will help them decide the types of prospective students they should target. Collegis offers learning technology management and enrollment management services.
