Marketing and admissions perceptions
Research Entry Survey

What other programs did students in your entering class consider? How do your program’s features compare against those other programs? What communication channels work most effectively in reaching your prospective students?

Answers to those questions can help Executive MBA Programs make the most of their marketing strategies and budgets and strengthen their admissions processes. The EMBAC Student Entry Survey offers programs a cost-effective way to survey students as they enter the program and gather that key information.
