About The Austen Group

Purpose

The Austen Group supplies institutional research services to private colleges and universities.

Our goal is to provide intelligent analysis and useful information at an affordable cost, so that our clients can be more efficient and effective in the application of their financial resources. At our core, we're really educators with a strong belief in private higher education and a desire to help institutions respond in positive, strategic ways to the challenges that face them.

We offer a customized approach to institutional research that can either supplement an institution's current IR activities or supply IR services for those without an in-house service.

Working collaboratively with you, we utilize your institutional information, established research methodologies, and our expertise in admissions, financial aid, student persistence, academic program mix, and national trends.
