Gray Associates announced the launch of their PES+ (Program Evaluation System) software, which provides unparalleled data on student demand, employment, and competition for each academic program and market in the U.S. PES+ provides custom scoring rubrics, program ranking, and easy to understand visualizations that allow institutions to make better-informed program decisions.

Bob Atkins, CEO of Gray Associates, says, “After several successful years, it was time to update our software; we are glad the upgrade, PES+, is now available to help clients navigate the fastest-changing environment in recent history. It will help clients find growth opportunities, reduce cost, and make their academic program portfolio more resilient and productive. While we include traditional sources, they are slow to update; our data on student demand and employment will include data from March, so our clients can understand and respond to the impact of the Coronavirus on student demand and employment. For example, we already see a spike in demand for online certificates and degrees.”
