Feasibility Studies

Credo has experience to conduct all types of feasibility studies from opening or sunsetting programs, integrating or adding new schools, assess athletics programs, and even building or acquiring new physical spaces for the campus. 

Though many firms can provide adequate feasibility studies, Credo's team of experts is the difference maker. Our interdisciplinary teams are selected for each client and include strategic thinkers, higher education consultants, and campus planners, designers, and architects, who have designed hundreds of student-centered campus spaces and bring this level of space-and-place design thinking to our clients. Your campus gets a well-rounded team with decades of experience to positively impact efficient administrative, finances, and even your campus spaces and places.

Credo's team will meet not only with leadership, but also incorporate additional campus stakeholders into the project. Credo's team is equipped to present findings confidentially, and when the time is right, to other campus constituents. We will provide your leadership with reports and findings to equip you to present information to your most important constituents; and we are available to present findings and recommendations to your Board of Trustees and other key stakeholders.

The Credo feasibility study increases the likelihood of success for new academic programs, athletics programs, new schools like nursing programs or law schools, or building or acquiring new facilities. Feasibility studies benefit not only the institution, but the whole community. Outcomes will be directly tied to your institutional mission, financial viability, and student success and retention.

It is absolutely possible to do a feasibility study on its own, or to combine it with other strategy or optimization projects. Institutional optimization and strategic planning are important complementary undertakings that can benefit campuses if done concurrently or in succession.

Many feasibility studies focus on athletics so conducting a full athletics assessment could provide additional layers of information for optimizing functions and efficiencies. Other studies focus on the physical spaces and places of the campus and could be complimented by such supportive services as campus planning or residence life experience programming.

Our team of consultants can partner with you to determine next steps to ensure the best course of action for your organization.
