    Session Description

    With the demand for online programs increasing, many universities will consider if and how they should go about creating online offerings. Some programs do well online, some don’t. In this session, we will help you think through the strategic thinking that went into your decision to create the program and the marketing, the data you used and what you may have missed.

    Search Influence and the Tulane School of Professional Development (SoPA) have made the mistakes and they have the learnings and will detail the process they defined and tweaked after building six in-house online programs. Our two speakers are deeply involved in the decisions and execution of our online programs and its marketing, and are able to get into specifics about what made our Master’s in Sports Studies successful and how we missed the mark on the Master’s in Security Studies.

    For those who rushed to bring programs online due to COVID, you’ll receive bonus tips on how to determine if you should keep those programs online.

    You Will Learn How To:

    • Identify the industry need
    • Assess the student population and define the target market
    • Strategize and run digital marketing
    • Monitor the viability of the program with data
