Education Research Capabilities
We bring deep expertise in educational research methodologies and an understanding of the unique challenges facing educational institutions, from enrollment management to student success and institutional effectiveness.
Student Experience Research
Measuring student satisfaction, engagement, and outcomes across the educational journey. We design and field surveys, focus groups, and longitudinal studies that capture the student experience from enrollment through graduation and beyond. Our research identifies the factors that drive student success, satisfaction, and institutional loyalty.
Enrollment & Recruitment Research
Research that supports enrollment management by understanding prospective student decision-making, competitor positioning, and the factors that influence college choice. We study the enrollment funnel from awareness through application, admission, and yield to identify opportunities for improving recruitment effectiveness and enrollment yield.
Program Evaluation & Assessment
Evaluating the effectiveness of educational programs, curricula, student services, and institutional initiatives. We design outcome-focused evaluation studies that measure program impact, identify improvement opportunities, and provide evidence for accreditation, compliance, and stakeholder reporting requirements.
EdTech & Online Learning Research
Understanding how students, faculty, and administrators experience educational technology. We evaluate learning management systems, online course delivery, educational apps, and emerging technologies through usability testing, satisfaction surveys, and adoption studies that help edtech companies and institutions optimize digital learning.
Institutional Research & Planning
Research that supports strategic planning, resource allocation, and institutional decision-making. We conduct community needs assessments, market demand analysis for new programs, employer surveys for workforce alignment, and stakeholder research that informs institutional strategy and investment priorities.
Faculty & Staff Research
Measuring faculty satisfaction, staff engagement, and organizational climate across educational institutions. We design workplace surveys that capture the perspectives of instructors, administrators, and support staff, identifying the cultural and structural factors that influence retention, productivity, and institutional effectiveness.
Research for Hispanic and First-Generation Students
Hispanic students are the fastest-growing demographic in U.S. education, and many are first-generation college students. Understanding their unique needs, barriers, and family dynamics is essential for institutions seeking to improve access, retention, and completion for this population.
Our fully bilingual team conducts education research with Hispanic students and families in both English and Spanish, capturing perspectives that English-only research misses. We understand the cultural context of educational decisions in Hispanic families and design research accordingly.
