November 19, 2019
How do your programs, staffing and salaries stack up in the dynamic world of professional, continuing and online education? What marketing tactics are your peers using to get enrollments and fill their classes? Do you need solid benchmarking and stats to share with your campus leadership?
UPCEA has exciting news—our Chief Research Officer and Center for Research and Strategy director Jim Fong has a robust survey research agenda planned for the remainder of 2019 and all of 2020.
