The Academic Performance & Program Viability Portfolio

How Much Does It Cost to

Produce a Degree?

It’s the most critical information college leaders need to do their job. And often the most difficult to obtain.  

The Academic Performance & Program Viability (APPV) Portfolio is a data informed decision-making platform that enables leaders to make use of their internal data to know what it costs to produce a degree and how to allocate resources to enhance learning outcomes and financial performance.

The APPV Portfolio is uniquely designed to be the most cost-effective, user-friendly tool to help higher education leaders identify opportunities to reduce inefficiencies and optimize performance for their institution.
