Student Journey Mapping
Create a Frictionless Journey that Drives Enrollment, Engagement and Success
The once predictable student journey has evolved into a dynamic and multifaceted process. Today’s students are juggling multiple commitments filled with twists, turns and unexpected detours, forcing them to engage with institutions in ways that defy traditional expectations. This new reality demands a fresh approach to enrollment strategy. One that decodes the motivations and behaviors of the modern student and adapts to the student journey’s swift and non-linear attributes. In fact, our latest 2024 Online College Students Report, we found that 35% of online college students took between one to three weeks to select a school. Another 20% took less than a week. The short time frame requires institutions to be agile and responsive.
The key to success lies in embracing a data-driven approach that prioritizes a frictionless experience for prospective students. This means streamlining processes, providing clear pathways and offering multiple entry points for engagement. Our Student Journey Mapping tool provides invaluable insights into student behavior. By collaborating with your team, we develop targeted strategies to optimize the student experience at every stage, ensuring a seamless journey from initial contact to enrollment, transforming the way you engage with modern students.
