Success Story: University of Miami
Providing an Innovative Way to Organize and Share
Information on Students, Admissions and Enrollment
The University of Miami is using MicroStrategy to gain insight into its academic environment and student population and drive decision making on admissions and enrollment processes. The University of Miami, which offers a wide selection of academic disciplines from accounting to women’s studies, is comprised of 12 schools and colleges and has approximately 15,250 undergraduate and graduate students from around the world.
“MicroStrategy software provides the University of Miami with an innovative way to organize and share information about our students, and drive our admissions and enrollment decisions,” said Mary Sapp, Executive Director of Planning and Institutional Research at the University of Miami. “With MicroStrategy, we can easily pull up reports about our current student body or applicant pool and make important decisions on admissions acceptances and enrollment questions.”
The University of Miami uses MicroStrategy software to analyze its student data in order to get a better profile of its applicant pool and existing student body. End users across the various schools and colleges are able to run reports that examine current student reporting, fundraising, campaign results, equality administration, financial aid, human resources, purchasing, student admissions, and student employment information. Analysis of the data can be done across the student body or at the individual level, with student-specific identifiers removed to ensure individual privacy. The institution is developing two additional business intelligence applications — financial records and facilities management — that will deploy on the MicroStrategy platform.
The University of Miami’s mission is to educate and nurture students, to create knowledge, and to provide service to the community and beyond. More than 15,000 undergraduate and graduate students from around the world call UM home during the academic semesters. The University of Miami has grown from its main location in the City of Coral Gables to include the medical campus located in Downtown Miami, the Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science on Virginia Key, the John J. Koubek Center in Little Havana, the James L. Knight Center in Downtown Miami, and the South and Richmond campuses in southwest Miami-Dade county. With more than 9,400 full- and part-time faculty and staff, the University of Miami is the largest private employer in Miami-Dade County.
