Higher Education Benchmarking Consortium

Program Level Benchmarking


A valuable tool for Higher Education institutions to assess performance, improve programs, and achieve strategic goals.

Programs

Program-level benchmarking is essential for higher education institutions to gain a granular understanding of their performance.

By comparing specific programs against similar offerings at peer institutions, universities can pinpoint strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities for improvement. This data-driven approach enables institutions to optimize curriculum, faculty resources, and student support services, ultimately enhancing program outcomes. Additionally, program-level benchmarking provides valuable insights for leaders , helping them make informed decisions about their program offerings.

Committees

Four committees were formed at the HEBC workshop held as a part of the Explorance Blue Notes MENA 2023 conference in Dubai on Nov 8 2023.

Program committee members are selected from representatives of the 12 higher education institutions already participating in the institutional benchmarking process
