Program Data: Where to find it; how to use it

No recording was made for this session

Session Description:

As many colleges move toward greater transparency by providing program data in a self-service format, the IR department at STCC offers a new Tableau tool that allows deans, program chairs, and faculty to visualize their program data quickly and succinctly. In this session, we will show you how to find application, enrollment, and completion numbers and trends on the STCC website. These metrics are available historically by gender, race, and other demographic characteristics.
