Since 1998, over 1500 colleges and universities have used EBI® assessments to improve the quality of the college student experience.

Residence Life (Housing)

College Union/Student Center

Fraternity/Sorority

First-Year Initiative

The EBI Advantage

Benchmarking:

Calibrates performance against six, self-selected peers/competitors from the largest pool of colleges and universities, Carnegie Class institutions, and the national standard.

Continuous Improvement:

Impacts overall effectiveness by providing results that go beyond describing performance to identifying where time, energy and scarce resources should be invested to improve overall quality and performance.

Professional Standards:

Aligns performance against professional standards (e.g. CCNE, NLNAC, ABET A-K Program Criteria Outcomes*, NCATE, CAS Standards, NASPA/ACPA Learning and Leadership Reconsidered, ACUHO-I Professional Standards).

Flexible Assessments Scheduling:

Suits your needs by allowing you to select assessments and implement them on your timetable without sacrificing benchmark comparisons.

Comprehensive Results Analysis and Reporting:

Provides easy to interpret executive summaries, in-depth analysis, custom analysis (cross-tab, multi-level filtering), statistical analysis (t-test and regressions)—everything you need to make the most of your assessment program.
