In a high-stakes, high-pressure environment, decentralized systems can’t deliver the stability or agility your graduate programs need.


Strengthen the Core of Your Graduate Admissions Strategy
Graduate education is no longer on the sidelines of institutional growth—it’s at the center of it. But with growing complexity, shrinking budgets, and intensified competition, many graduate programs are struggling to keep pace.
It’s time to move beyond outdated, fragmented processes. In this whitepaper, we outline a transformative, centralized approach to graduate admissions that enables long-term stability, strategic agility, and scalable growth.

- The way Liaison’s Centralized Application Service for graduate programs (GradCAS) helps programs respond to volatility with a flexible, future-ready system.
- Practical tactics to reduce administrative burdens, improve decision making, and increase collaboration across departments.
- Real examples of institutions that have modernized their graduate admissions successfully and are cultivating great results.
If your graduate enrollment strategy feels reactive instead of resilient, this guide is your first step toward transformation.
