Pathway Market Scan and Strategic Assessment Overview The Third-Party Pathway model can be an attractive way for universities to expand their international efforts – growing recruitment, retention, and graduation results for international students – without investing their own capital to do so. These partnerships have been very effective for some institutional partners, and disappointments for others. What drives the differences between success and disappointment? Is partnering right for you? What competitive and financial pressures exist for all parties that are important to understand up-front? What’s needed to ready your internal staff/structure/systems? Our Pathway Market Scan and Strategic Assessment will offer an independent view of these factors without the time-and-staff investment of meeting with multiple partners; it will provide you with expert insights on best options for your university.
