Academic Portfolio Optimization Maximize your suite of academic programs
Stand out to students and employers with a winning academic portfolio
One of the most effective ways to attract potential students is to attract the employers who will one day hire them. And a sure way to do that is by having a strong academic portfolio with a robust mix of degree and certificate programs. Achieving this, however, is a huge undertaking. Assessing current programs and identifying new ones takes time and resources that institutions don’t always have.
At Hanover, our experienced researchers partner with colleges and universities to comprehensively analyze academic portfolio data. Using proven methods, our portfolio optimization solution equips academic leaders to define markers of program success and zero in on high-growth, high-demand programs that drive both student enrollment and employer engagement.

University of Florida Leverages Higher Ed Market Analysis to Strengthen Academic Programs
“At the University of Florida, we are required to complete a market analysis for most new academic programs to justify their creation and funding. Before Hanover built our dashboards, the only way we could get that kind of market analysis was by piecing it together ourselves, which was very time consuming.”
—Jonathan Orsini, PhD, Director of Operations, Office for Strategic Initiatives
The University of Bristol and Hanover Partner to Explore A.I. Viability
“Hanover Research has proved to be a valuable partner to enable us to expand the capacity of our in-house market research team at a time when the University is changing its programme portfolio significantly. They helped us to analyse the student market for new postgraduate programmes in AI, enabling us to develop the business cases for the programmes at top speed. They have worked effectively with us to scope tasks and identify appropriate international comparators. Their research with international employers has been very valuable in the analysis of existing and new programmes alike.”
