Engaging sophisticated predictive and financial modeling, incorporating market sizing and analysis, Cicero has led many studies on behalf of institutions to assess the potential for opening new campuses in various target locations, resulting in data-informed site and program decisions.

Institutions of higher education are typically accountable to a range of stakeholders. Often, there is need to demonstrate the value an institution creates beyond the student, research, and community outcomes generated by that institution—particularly in a quantifiable, economic way. Cicero conducts sophisticated economic modeling on behalf of institutions to demonstrate impact on local and regional economies, in terms of both dollars and jobs created.
