Points of Distinction
- GAPSEMC (founded in 1985) is the only firm of its kind in the world. No other higher education consulting practice focuses exclusively on graduate school recruiting, admissions, financial aid, marketing, and enrollment management.
- GAPSEMC, unlike other consulting firms, does not work with undergraduate colleges and universities—only graduate and professional schools offering master’s and doctoral level programs.
- GAPSEMC has consulted with 453 different graduate and professional schools throughout the U.S. and Canada. Clearly, when it comes to experience in graduate student recruiting, GAPSEMC is the hands-down leader. No other firm even comes close.
- GAPSEMC is the world’s largest provider of customized training programs for graduate schools. Over 26,500 graduate program directors, department chairs, faculty, deans, associate deans, assistant deans, recruiters, and staff have attended one or more of the firm’s cutting-edge training programs on how to recruit graduate students.
- GAPSEMC (in 1987) developed the first written diagnostic tool for evaluating the strengths and weaknesses of a graduate recruiting program: “How to Evaluate Your Graduate Recruitment Program: An Enrollment Management Audit for Graduate and Professional Schools.” And today, after seven updates, it is still the only all-inclusive instrument for determining how well a graduate recruiting program is performing.
- GAPSEMC’s extensive client list includes 14 graduate schools of nursing, 17 colleges of engineering, 27 graduate schools of management, 24 colleges of education, 16 schools of health sciences, 32 schools of theology, and 6 colleges of social work … as well as schools of agriculture, art, communication, law, library sciences, music, pharmacy, public policy, and veterinary medicine.
- GAPSEMC has provided expert on-campus recruitment consultation to 21 Ph.D. programs in chemistry and 19 doctoral programs in biological sciences—making it the leading supplier of graduate recruiting services to colleges of natural sciences.
- GAPSEMC clients range in size from 50,000 students to under 200 students. So whether you are a large Ph.D. granting institution with tons of money … or a small graduate program on a tight budget, GAPSEMC can provide the tools, training, and support to help you get the recruiting results you want.
- GAPSEMC’s on-campus seminar “101 Great Ideas for Successfully Recruiting Graduate Students” is the longest running training program in all of higher education. Now in its 23rd year, this convenient and fun workshop is the only on-campus graduate recruitment training program designed for faculty, administration and staff.
- GAPSEMC has been helping graduate and professional schools, ones just like yours, achieve their recruiting goals for nearly three decades. Today, GAPSEMC is the #1 brand that graduate programs look to and trust.
