LEAD MEASURES

As a lead measure to achieve continued enrollment growth, Mount Marty must focus on holistic enrollment management across academic programs, athletics, and the arts. Other measures include an expansion of international study abroad opportunities, as well as focusing intentional recruitment efforts at regional Catholic schools. To assist in retention initiatives, efforts must be made to develop co-curricular activities, which will help to create a vibrant campus community and student experience.
