About the Episode:
When a prospective student lands on your website, what do they really want to find? It might not be what you think. In this episode, Grant De Roo, Founder and Principal at ADV Market Research & Consulting and Jarrett Smith, Senior VP of Strategy at Echo Delta share results from surveying over 1,000 prospective students about the top tasks students want to accomplish online. From cost clarity to course descriptions, modality, and career outcomes, the data challenges some common higher ed marketing assumptions and reveals a handful of universal priorities you can focus on to improve the student experience.
Join us as we discuss:
- [1:45] The surprising consistency across student segments

- [20:26] Gaps between higher ed professionals’ assumptions and student needs
