AACRAO recently renewed its agreement with Bethel University regarding its Strategic Enrollment Management Endorsement for graduates of the Strategic Enrollment Management Endorsement Program. Under this renewed agreement, professionals who have earned the AACRAO SEM Endorsement by completing the SEM-EP have one course waived toward the completion of the Doctor of Education: Leadership in Higher Education degree at Bethel University in St. Paul, Minnesota. Upon successful completion of the SEM Endorsement Program, Bethel University will waive the course, EDUC 885: Individual Projects in Higher Education (two to four credits). In this revised agreement, AACRAO members with a SEM Endorsement accepted into the Bethel University Ed.D. program will also now receive a scholarship that will cover up to $400 of tuition per term for a maximum of $1,200 per academic year. This is a new benefit of the renewed agreement.

This report was made possible by a sample of 268 U.S. Chief Admissions Officers who participated in our survey and the National Association for College Admission Counseling (NACAC), which assisted in sharing the survey.
