New Dashboard Available: Academic Program Health - Phase 1

We are pleased to share that a new Academic Program Health dashboard is now available to all users in Campus Data Warehouse production. The Academic Program Health Phase 1 dashboard release consolidates key academic program metrics across Degrees Awarded, Enrollment in Major, and Admissions Demand for both Bachelor's and Master's programs into a single dashboard view that can be filtered to a College, Major, or Concentration. 

The new Academic Program Health dashboard in the Phase 1 release includes:
  • Key Performance Indicators for the most recent Academic Years or Fall terms, with change from the prior year, and five-year trends for Degrees Awarded, Enrollment Headcount and FTE in major, and Admissions Funnel metrics (Applicant Count, Admit Count, New Enrollment Count, and admit to Enrollment Yields).
  • A new visualization type available in Amazon QuickSight (Custom Narrative Insights), which provides dynamic narrative bullets below each metric trend that describe the year-over-year change, recent trend, and the minimum and maximum values for the metric over the last five years.
  • Available filter controls on the dashboard allow programs to see metrics for the university overall or for a selected College, Major, Concentration, or CSU CO Matric Type.
  • Links to CSU systemwide "Performance Review of Existing Degree Major Programs".
  • Displays a conditional note for programs that have conferred fewer than 10 degrees for Bachelor's programs and fewer than 5 degrees for Master's programs in the prior Academic Year.
A planned Phase 2 release in the coming months will add new dashboard pages with additional academic program metrics across key Retention and Graduation metrics for First-Time Freshmen and Upper Division Transfers for Bachelor's programs and First-Time Graduates for Master's programs.
