Integrates with other College Board recruitment solutions
Many colleges and universities have successfully used the College Board's trusted information sources to increase enrollment and build diversity. This case study (.pdf/109K) shows how Saint Joseph's, a private university in Philadelphia, used EPS in conjunction with Student Search Service® and Descriptor PLUS to increase their applications by 223 percent over 10 years. During the same period, the number of minority applicants rose by 181 percent and, due to targeted geographical marketing, Saint Joseph's cut its travel budget in half while enjoying a 65 percent increase in out-of-state applications.
