UQ’S PROGRAM
OPTIMIZATION FRAMEWORK
UQ’s approach is grounded in a simple idea: colleges and universities need the right knowledge, effective processes, and skillful leadership to optimize for a changing future.
Knowledge
UQ helps institutions understand internal performance and external conditions through customized, governed data that is focused on key decisions and easy to communicate across the campus community.
Process
Data only matters when it is connected to clear, collaborative decision-making. UQ helps institutions identify appropriate metrics, build effective frameworks, and integrate data-informed processes into their regular rhythms and culture.
Leadership
Successful leadership requires community engagement, process clarity, and strategic focus. By bringing together relevant data, effective processes, and focused leadership, institutions can achieve transformative impact for their communities and the students they serve.
OUR LATEST INSIGHTS
NEW PROGRAM CHECKLIST
The landscape of opportunity that college students will face is rapidly changing. Students know this, and in many cases are talking with their feet—choosing different programs, or even different colleges—faster than colleges and universities can adapt. This new programs checklist can help guide your programming decisions.
CURRENT PROGRAMS FRAMEWORK
While launching carefully selected new programs is a cornerstone of any college or university’s growth strategy, managing current programs is arguably more important for the life of the institution.
HOW TO UNDERSTAND THE CHANGING JOB MARKET
BLS data is widely available. But how should we understand the impact of changes in the job market on demand for academic programs? The BLS’s CIP-SOC crosswalk is widely used to connect job classifications to academic programs, but this leaves much to be desired.
