Client Snapshot: Kerri Nawrocki, Colorado Community College System
Kerri Nawrocki
Director of Institutional Research
Colorado Community College System
When the State Board for the Colorado Community College System (CCCS) had questions about the rapid growth of its for-profit competition, Kerri Nawrocki was able to use EMSI’s tool, Strategic Advantage, to perform a detailed analysis comparing CCCS to its private, for-profit counterparts. With SA’s user-friendly, integrated data, Nawrocki was able to differentiate between CCCS and the for-profit institutions to find the top programs, market penetration, tuition costs, retention rates, and graduation rates of each institution type. This analysis served as the basis for Nawrocki’s report, which is entitled “Competition from Private For-Profit Post-Secondary Institutions: A Brief Snapshot of the Colorado Two-Year Market.” Nawrocki says she “hopes the intelligence gathered in this report serves as a guide for CCCS to better differentiate itself in the face of growing competition.”
