Broh Consulting Services, LLC conducts primary analysis of higher education data in the traditions of rigorous social science research. Broh, himself, is trained as a political scientist with post-doctoral work in psychology and politics and ten years of financial and economic research for 31 private, highly selective colleges and
universities. Using data from public and private sources, he takes an interdisciplinary approach to attack some of the more difficult topics of higher education. The research is typically sensitive to secondary presentation with attention to graphics, writing, and language.
A selected set of research topics of
whichBroh Consulting Services, LLChas provided support includes the
following reports:
Canadian Embassy: The
role of the Canadian Embassy is one of general advocacy for Canadian
universities and not one of direct involvement, yet college admissions is inherently a personal choice to attend a single
institution. Canadian
universities must, in the final analysis, market their own institution. The role of the Embassy is similar to the
Department of Tourism or the Department of Agri-food in helping “brand” Canadian
universities and provide research and background support for marketing and
recruitment. Broh Consulting Services
helped Canadian universities understand some of the intricacies of the United States
higher education market by designing a general and overreaching recruitment strategy
Common Application: The collection of data about gender, race,
and ethnicity is critical to understanding the profile of students applying to
, admitted to, and enrolling in college.
Government regulations as well as the the objectives of admission
officers affect the quality of the data. Having a set of options that respond to these
needs while remaining in compliance with Federal government requirements has
been the topic of several policy papers and recommendations to the Common
Application.
National
Association for College Admission Counseling: College admission counseling typically
focuses on admission to the “right fit” for high school juniors and seniors. College admissions, however, also address an
important issue of national public policy and political discourse. Expanding the scope of NACAC membership to
include counselors from public high schools that guide students to two-year and
four-year colleges is important to the future of higher education.
