Applications are down, MBA programs are closing and standardized tests aren’t playing the role they used to in graduate management education (GME) admissions.

What’s behind these trends? What can your institution do about them?

Answers await you at the upcoming Mid-Atlantic Association of Colleges of Business Administration (MAACBA) Annual Conference at Rutgers University (Oct. 20-22), where Robert Ruiz, Liaison International’s vice president of strategic enrollment, will explore how institutions like yours can take back the narrative about GME’s present — and future.

Peer Perspectives

During his speaking session — “The State of GME Today” — Robert will share what he’s heard in conversations with GME program leadership across the country, talk through what they’re doing to stay relevant and offer insights into how to respond to today’s employers’ needs while developing leaders who are dedicated to driving social good.

He’ll also describe how Liaison’s BusinessCAS™, the first and only Centralized Application Service (CAS™) for business programs, can bring your graduate management admissions office an improved way to recruit, enroll and admit best-fit students while saving money and better allocating staff resources each admissions cycle.
