PES ECONOMICS

Understanding Program Economics

Calculate Margins for Academic Programs

Gray’s PES Economics software calculates the economics of individual programs using direct variable economics so institutions can understand which programs produce margin, and how much. The model provides a detailed financial scorecard for each program and course, including revenue, direct instructional costs, contribution margin, and student and credit hour data.

The system also provides summary views for portfolio-level analysis, custom data tables to allow deep dives on specific metrics, and downloads directly to Excel.
