New Tools to Evaluate Program Growth

By: Martha L. Casey

Here's an effective analytical framework for evaluating new and low-enrollment programs.

Abstract: Describes the quantitative analysis of program array at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in an attempt to evaluate new and low-enrollment programs in a period of shrinking financial resources.
