confidence; and set example for family• Design web pages and advertising geared to adult learners;
SEO• This is a growing market with all types of competitors targeting
our students. Are we the best at serving adults? (hours of operation, services, convenience in registration, etc.)
Program planning• In some ways adults are more aware of emerging technology,
employer demand needs, but it would be good to emphasize options within fields

Factors that help or hinder the college in reaching goals:• Driving forces are strengths
and opportunities• Restraining forces are
weaknesses and threats
Assess driving and restraining forces

SWOT Elements Defined
Strengths are existing internal characteristics – physical, human, and financial – that clearly contribute to institutional success and the achievement of enrollment goals.
Weaknesses are existing internal characteristics that detract from institutional success and the achievement of enrollment goals.
Opportunities are internal and external factors that have the potential to be developed into strengths.
Threats are external conditions that are obstacles to institutional success and achievement of enrollment goals.

• Improved demand generation to ensure market saturation and four‐channel direct marketing programs.
• Significant shifts in marketing spend from traditional categories to digital (typically 75% plus) with commensurate improvements to the institution’s website to make sure that, once traffic arrives on the site, leads are captured.
• Changes to scholarship and financial aid strategies based on new/revised data sets.• Guaranteed tuition plans.• Accelerated degree plans.• Inquiry management strategies.• Course management improvements; e.g., collaboration among colleges and
departments in course scheduling, degree plans, transfer articulation plans.• College‐wide recruitment coordination; i.e., making sure the central enrollment unit,
the colleges, and the departments are collaborating and working toward the same goals (often fueled by RCM budgeting).
• Strengthening marketing and recruitment to specific academic programs or career/academic program clusters (prospect through registration stages).
• Building a platform of retention interventions using predictive analytics.

We calculated the change over the last 5 years in the total number of degrees (e.g., bachelor’s) awarded and also the percentage change in the most recent year. Then we filtered on all programs and select any which has grown faster than *both* the overall 5‐year and 1‐year percentages.
Essentially, this means that the numbers of degrees awarded in these “high‐growth” programs are growing faster than the total population of people earning that degree level.
What are the largest, fastest growing programs according to IPEDS?

• Should be based on both the best quantitative data that is available and the qualitative information and views of experienced environmental observers.

“Peer Mentor Program supervisors are amazing, they make everything go smooth, see if you are upset, initiative ask you to attend events, help students socialize, each student is different, help as much people as they can” – from current student.
“Pierce offers a variety of programs that are not found on other campuses. Faculty, administration, and staff really care about student success and are always trying new ways of reaching out to students” – from faculty member.

• Website …. • Lack of strong communications system for incoming students (CRM) and
new SIS technology hampering efforts.• Enrollment staffing, organizational model & processes– disconnected
outreach, admissions, aid, testing, advising and onboarding – pathway for students isn’t paved well.
• Marketing collateral to support recruitment is weak – demonstrated by lack of awareness.
• Internal (some district) processes leave room for gaps – from interest to application to advising and registration.
• Course transferability – perception that courses don’t transfer as well as other institutions.
• Some academic programs are historically under‐enrolled/under‐awarded but still on the books.

Exemplar of Weaknesses“As a parent of a college and high school student, I can give firsthand feedback as to why students are not coming to Pierce. Many do not realize our high transfer rate. Those that want to go to UCLA choose SMC because they are so good at advertising their transfer rates to UCLA” – staff member.
“We do not do a good job with collateral – it is from individual offices that do their own printing and publications. There isn’t anything to give out except –steps to register (cardstock), or how to be a successful student checklist. We have many growing programs but nothing to give out – especially for adults.” ‐ staff member

conversion and yield.• Additional program offerings online as a modality – especially for
adults.• Business to education partnerships (think ASU and Starbucks).

• Perception that LA Pierce is only for unprepared or lower academic ability students. HS Counselors deter or lack proper knowledge.
• CA Legislative Policies – meant to help students but what about execution and implementation?
• New funding model implementation.• District choices impact what LA Pierce can do on its own.• Low tuition cap and higher costs of living – higher average net price.• Ongoing demographic changes – fewer HS graduates and increasing
population of Pell eligible and first generation students as a percentage.• Very low unemployment rates – how to still be a value to those who are
working?

• Reconsider the website from the ground up – non‐responsiveness, not mobile friendly, poor navigation, lack of SEO, serving too many users and none well, limited student engagement opportunities.
• Invest in a true Constituent Relationship Management (CRM) to provide a clear and streamlined enrollment process for new students to clear the ‘leaks’.
• Develop a well‐conceived and executed communications flow to students at the prospect, inquiry, application, completed application, next steps, advising and orientation/registration stages. • Once base is developed – segment based on markets (adults,
traditional, returners, local vs. out of district, etc.

• Re‐examine the organizational structure and function of key offices interacting with students with the eye to purposefully connect functions and processes with one another structurally vs. ‘just collaborate’.
• Systematically reduce barriers to enrollment and persistence (they are well identified by now). Create a structure/decision making body (EMC?) with authority and accountability to do so.
• Infuse messaging with clarity on pathways for transfer, outcomes attainment (jobs/transfer), value, flexibility.
• Add courses and degree programs online – consider additional programs in high market demand areas (sales, customer service, security, culinary, health tech areas). • Sunset programs with little to no interest or graduates in the past 5 years.
