Our Focused Start diagnostic helps art and design institutions take a closer look at up to three undergraduate programs and understand what deserves attention next. Through a review of enrollment, curriculum, assessment, and strategic documents, along with two leadership interviews, we identify five priority opportunities or risks. You’ll receive a concise findings brief and a 60-minute facilitated discussion to translate those insights into practical next steps.

At $2,500, with a three-week turnaround, this package offers a manageable starting point for a department, small institution, or selected group of programs. Bring a question, a concern, or a sense that something needs attention. We’ll help you begin.
