Huron Live Webcast: Lowering the Cost of Education - Analyzing Cost

About This Event

Institutions are beginning to look at different ways in which they can lower their cost of education. Many are moving to activity-based costing models that provide better visibility and insight into understanding the cost of individual programs, degrees, courses and even cohorts of students. Activity-based costing goes beyond the traditional allocation of overhead and provides institutions with information needed to make strategic decision about cost containment and allocation of resources for both long term and short term financial planning.

In this presentation we will:

• Expore why activity-based costing makes sense in Higher Education
• Learn how institutions are implementing new cost and resource allocation models
• Understand how the information from these models is being used
• Understand how advancements in technology are enabling institutions to perform advance education cost delivery analysis
• Discuss how institutions can start a process that enables transparency and visibility
