2012 represented another record year for PC&U in terms of students reached and pre-qualified leads delivered to our clients. In fact, PC&U delivered over 4.1 million leads in 2012, all representing engaged students who specifically requested information and expressed interest in a particular school.
And the feedback we receive from schools on the quality of these leads continues to be incredible . . .
“For more than a decade at two different universities, I have annually partnered with Private Colleges & Universities with outstanding results. We closely track the source of our admitted and enrolled students, and the number of students matriculating each year vastly exceeds our investment in this marketing publication; I am referring to every year that I have partnered with PC&U, not just some years. I strongly recommend this great resource for private universities, students, and parents.”
– Brent Benner, Director of Enrollment Management, The University of Tampa
“Millikin University has been a long-time participant in Private Colleges & Universities publications for one reason: it works. PC&U provides strong, qualified leads for our institution, and we continue to see an increased return on our investment year after year.”
– Sarah Shupenus, Marketing Director, Millikin University
