Whether education or trade, corporation or commerce, identifiable challenges are rarely if ever resolved with a one-size-fits-all solution. In the world of higher education, colleges are as unique as the constituencies they serve. Whether public or private, 2-year or 4-year or post-graduate, your challenges may be common but your solutions are probably not. 3OE Solutions partners with higher ed institutions for the purpose of helping administrators identify challenges, streamline processes, shape strategic planning, and implement student success initiatives by focusing on the 3 Os critical to the success of your college or university: Operations, Optics, and Outcomes.

OPERATIONS.

According to the most recent national statistics, only 68% of students return to school after their first year, and the current number of students who actually graduate within 6 years of starting college is only 42%. Obviously, attrition and graduation rates must be a major focus of every institution, but college administrators also understand that there are many pieces involved in solving that puzzle, not the least of which is keeping the day-to-day operations moving smoothly.

3OE partners with higher ed administrators to provide:

• Enrollment Management Planning

• Strategic Planning

• Vision Casting

• Short- and Long-term Project Management

• Comprehensive Operations Assessments

OPTICS

Is what you’re doing working? Is what you’re doing well influencing prospective students, or are they still distracted by those areas that need improvement? As the old adage goes, “Perception is reality.” So, are you looking your best to prospective students and to the greater community? Are your efforts to convey your mission and message intentional and effective or are your various departments and programs steering the course?

3OE Solutions will partner with your institution to develop:

• Brand Development

• Institutional Marketing Strategies and Communication Plans

• Advertising Campaigns

• Business Assets & Collateral

• Website Design & Development

OUTCOMES

During the past decade, state and federal policy makers have called for increased accountability from colleges and universities. As the importance of a college degree has increased along with the costs to earn one, accrediting agencies are looking more closely at strategic plan outcomes to evaluate the quality and value of higher education. Among the outcomes that receive the greatest focus is graduation rates.

3OE Solutions can assist with all your Student Success and Planning & Assessment needs, including:

• Institutional Effectiveness

• Academic Program Development
