Brigham Young University-Idaho Builds a Roadmap for Student Growth With Predictive Analysis Tool

Brigham Young University-Idaho (BYU-Idaho) wanted to evaluate the risk involved in revamping the university's admissions and enrollment structure to accommodate its shift from a two-year to a four-year institution and implement a forecasting system that allows the university to determine how many offers to make to prospective students. The challenge was to predict student enrollment and tuition stream to improve operational efficiency and make more informed decisions about enrollment and staffing and manage the university's scholarship program more effectively. Brigham Young University-Idaho deployed Oracle's Crystal Ball to assess the inherent risk in altering the university's enrollment model and used the application to make better predictions and improve the university's decision-making process for enrollment, tuition, and scholarships.
