Emma™, the mobile enrollment management app, provides students with personalized, 24/7 mobile enrollment and admissions advising.

Pepperdine University’s Graduate School of Education and Psychology is taking its enrollment and admissions strategies to the next level and meeting students where they are by leveraging EmmaTM, Perdia Education’s first-to-market mobile enrollment technology. With its implementation, Pepperdine University will offer prospective online students personalized mobile enrollment advising that aligns with its standards of excellence.

The higher education enrollment landscape is at an intersection of continual enrollment declines and a spike in online learning. Institutions need to evolve their strategies to align with the preferences of today’s students and meet them where they are — on mobile.

“The past few years have highlighted the lasting importance of expanding online access to higher education,” said Luke Phillips, Executive Director of Marketing and Enrollment at Pepperdine University. “Perdia Education helps us to provide exceptional and personalized enrollment services to our online students through using Emma.”

Emma allows prospective students the flexibility they want in an enrollment and admissions process. In a survey conducted by Perdia Education, 71% of student participants shared that Emma was helpful because they were able to work at their own pace. When asked to rate the mobile app on its effectiveness and efficiency, 73% of students stated it was “excellent.” 

“We are proud that our student survey shows that our technology is providing a first-rate enrollment advising service,” said Tony Huffman, CEO of Perdia Education. “Powered by AI and backed by behavioral science, we designed Emma to help universities grow their online enrollments and to create an enhanced admissions experience for students because mobile enrollment management is the future of higher education. We are excited to partner with Pepperdine University’s Graduate School of Education and Psychology and help them enhance their prospective student experience — from initial inquiry to the first day of class.”

Emma’s patent-pending technology interacts with students throughout their entire admissions process with the ability to request and upload documents, interview and qualify eligibility, answer admissions and enrollment questions, and guide program selections. In leveraging the mobile enrollment tool, institutions can accelerate online enrollments by connecting with prospective online students on their mobile devices at their exact time and point of need, 24/7, 365 days a year. 

Emma is available on a flexible, short-term contract model. The platform has low-impact tech integration requirements and can be easily white-labeled for colleges and universities.
