Gray Associates, Inc. is a data analytics, software, and strategy consulting firm focused on
higher education. We help colleges and universities develop data-informed academic program
strategies that maximize outcomes for students, institutions, and their constituencies. We have
developed industry-leading databases on market demand for academic programs, a software
platform to calculate and track program economics, and a program planning tool to model the
impact of academic program decisions on an institution’s future. We combine our data on
program markets and economics with an institutional self-evaluation of mission and academic
performance in an integrated approach to program assessment. Using this information, our
collaborative workshop approach brings faculty and school leadership together to select the
best programs to Stop, Start, Sustain, and Grow.
