The first and only Centralized Application Service designed specifically for graduate business education programs records its third consecutive year of success
The 2019-2020 enrollment cycle marked the third year for BusinessCAS, and Liaison’s pioneering Centralized Application Service (CAS) is showing no signs of losing momentum any time soon. The number of BusinessCAS applicants increased yet again, and the number of participating institutions increased nearly 40%.
Growth of that magnitude expands the reach of the BusinessCAS Community across more states and provides services to a more diverse range of research, liberal arts, minority-serving and other types of institutions.
