Website Enhancement

College websites often include copy inappropriate for the web. Sometimes the content fails to focus on what visitors/users seek. At other times, the text is merely copied from a print document. We are experts at revising existing content to make it web-savvy. If needed, we'll create new, SEO copy to meet your needs as follows:

Revision of institutional policy and procedures statements

Revision of institutional or academic program descriptions

Reorganization of website navigation to make the site user-friendly

Research and creation of blog posts for any program or office

Consulting for Colleges and Universities

Our experience in undergraduate and graduate program development, curricular revision, institutional organization, and delivery of higher learning to diverse populations prepares us to offer outstanding consulting services to help your college or university achieve its true potential.

Once we determine your needs and the scope of the project, we will create a detailed procedural structure, including progressive milestones leading to completion, specifying the data to be gathered and used, the stakeholders who must be involved, and the objectives to be achieved. So far as possible, we will draw upon data and information already in your possession, but we will research best practices as developed by external agencies and comparable institutions. We will keep you informed at every step about what we are doing and why.

We provide professional consulting in the following areas:

Revision of statements of institutional mission and core values and objectives

Academic program planning, development, and implementation at undergraduate and graduate levels

Enhanced marketing of academic programs, especially the liberal arts and sciences

Assessment of student learning, including design of strategies and rubrics

Development of self-studies or other documents relating to regional accreditation, state approval of degree programs, or professional program accreditation

Institutional branding reflecting the mission and core values as understood and approved by significant stakeholders

Although many of these areas can have significant impact upon enrollment management, we will not specifically treat enrollment management issues. We will defer to the many consulting firms that do specialize in enrollment management and financial aid. Nevertheless, we will be mindful of enrollment implications relevant to our professional recommendations.

Because of the breadth of our consulting services, we encourage you to contact us directly with any preliminary questions about how we can help you.
