Four-Year Private

As private colleges and universities do not receive funds from state legislatures, you rely heavily on tuition and private contributions. Jenzabar helps you build strong relationships with your constituents. Not only is this good for students–it’s critical for your financial stability.

Four-Year Public

State-supported colleges and universities are often targets for cost cutting. Your institution is undoubtedly trying to do more with less. With Jenzabar, you’ll always get a high return on your technology investment.

Two-Year Institutions

It’s a difficult time as most two-year institutions are grappling with fluctuating enrollment and diminishing state support. Jenzabar equips you to respond to these challenges with a greater focus on student success and institutional accountability.

Continuing Education

Continuing education departments must meet the unique challenges of workforce development, certificate, adult learning, and other non-traditional programs. Jenzabar offers administrative software solutions that meet the needs of institutions offering non-traditional programs.

Consortia provide a forum for members to share ideas, concerns, and resources. Jenzabar partners with consortia to enhance the academic experience for students and faculty as well as to improve operational efficiencies through shared resources.
