Adult Prospect Research Deliverables
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.
