Prospective Adult Learners Mindsets

Methodology

Eduventures Research will design, host, and analyze an online survey of prospective adult learners. There are two options for participation:

  • Provide your prospective student list – The benefits of providing your own student inquiry list include: understanding the quality of your leads and inquiries, targeting new markets, obtaining data on out-of-state inquiries, and others. We recommend that your list consist of a minimum of 10,000 unique names to yield a sample size suitable for analysis.
  • No list? No problem! For those without existing prospective student lists, we can obtain one for you. We will work with our panel provider to create a sample of qualified adults within a geographic area surrounding your institution. A regional sample can be procured either for a low additional cost or bundled into your subscription.

Speak to the Motivations and Expectations of Adult Learners

With Eduventures’ Adult Learner Mindsets, your institution can use behavioral and attitudinal mindsets to adjust your messaging and target the right market.
