The Enrollment Power Index is a comprehensive evaluation of nearly 3,000 college websites in the country, scoring each one for the presence or absence of vital components necessary to take a prospective student through the admissions and enrollment process. College websites were rated on 37 different criteria, including page design and navigation, website interaction, online admissions tools, contact information availability, and much more.
