How to Refine + Govern Academic Offerings in Higher Ed
A strong academic portfolio is the foundation of institutional success. Our solutions help schools evaluate, optimize, and align their programs to student demand, workforce needs, and marketplace dynamics.
Strategic Academic Portfolio Management
Collegis Education equips institutions with industry expertise, proprietary analytics, and hands-on support to drive data-enabled academic decisions. Through market research, financial modeling, and strategic planning, we help optimize programs, maximize enrollment, and ensure long-term sustainability. By applying a product lens, we help institutions build a strategic, mission-aligned portfolio that is competitively priced and delivers real-world learning outcomes for student career success.
Balancing Academic Quality & Sustainability
Managing an academic portfolio is complex, requiring institutions to align programs with shifting student interests, workforce demands, and financial constraints. Without strong governance and reliable data, institutions struggle to assess program viability, allocate resources effectively, and maintain competitiveness.
Understanding the Risk of Not Taking Action
Institutions that fail to optimize academic programs risk declining enrollments, resource inefficiencies, and missed opportunities to meet workforce needs. Without proactive governance, they may continue investing in underperforming programs — limiting funding for high-growth areas and stalling innovation in new, in-demand offerings.
The Solution
We provide institutions with a data-enabled framework to assess, refine, and govern their academic portfolios for long-term success.
Here’s how we do it:
Market Research + Competitive Analysis
Analyzing student demand, industry needs, and competitor offerings to ensure academic programs align with institutional goals and evolving workforce trends.
New Program Development + Innovation
Identifying and launching high-demand programs (e.g., stackable courses, microcredentials, certificates, etc.) that attract students, meet workforce needs, and drive sustainable growth.
Program Pricing + Positioning
Establishing market-aligned pricing and clear value propositions to ensure programs are accessible, competitive, and justify tuition investment while driving enrollment and sustainability.
Program Performance + Viability Assessment
Evaluating enrollment trends, cost structures, and revenue impact to identify underperforming programs and uncover opportunities for financial and strategic growth.
Portfolio Optimization + Governance Frameworks
Implementing a structured approach to evaluating and managing academic programs, ensuring alignment with institutional priorities and long-term student success.
