Our Mindstream Diagnostic

uses methodology developed by Robert Zemsky, Susan Shaman and Susan Campbell Baldridge, as laid out in their book, “The College Stress Test” to paint a holistic picture of your financial position (secure revenue streams and reasonable expenditures) and market position (stable and sustained enrollments), and how they relate to each other.

What’s in the report

  • A Market Stress Test Score that tracks changes over time in these key market and financial components: your First year Market Price, 1st year to 2nd year Retention, 1st year Enrollment and the ratio of the Endowment to Operating Expenses. Each component derives from institutional data available from IPEDS.
  • A Comparison, which benchmarks your college or university against similar institutions based on IPEDS region and average first year enrollments
  • A Revenue Scenario generator that enables you to vary the key market and financial components.
