Many institutions rely on enrollment reports to evaluate academic programs, but enrollment alone rarely tells the full story. Understanding program health requires a broader view of how students progress, persist, and succeed over time.
Join Gordon Mitchell, Chief Information & Data Officer, at Mountwest Community & Technical College, as he shares how Mountwest developed the Academic Program Snapshot Dashboard in Argos, a five-year longitudinal view of academic program performance designed to support more informed planning and decision-making.
By bringing together key metrics such as enrollment, full-time equivalent (FTE), withdrawal rates, retention, and graduation rates, the dashboard provides a comprehensive view of program outcomes from student entry through completion. This approach helps academic leaders identify trends, uncover opportunities for improvement, allocate resources more effectively, and recognize programs demonstrating strong performance.
During the webinar, Gordon will walk through the dashboard’s design, the metrics selected, and the visualization strategies used to make complex longitudinal data easy to understand and act on. Attendees will gain practical ideas for creating similar reporting frameworks at their own institutions to support program review, student success initiatives, and data-informed decision-making.
