Visualization tools enable better decisions by presenting real-time data on students' backgrounds and financial abilities. This information helps shape enrollment strategies and tuition pricing. Visual formats like graphs, maps, and charts make it easier to identify outliers, observe distributions, and understand correlations (Jaggia et al., 2022). 2. Scenario modeling improves planning because administrators can predict the impact of changessuch as tuition increases or curriculum adjustmentson enrollment and specific student groups. This allows decisions to be based on evidence rather than assumptions. 3. Data quality and training are critical since flawed data leads to poor decisions. Institutions must ensure accuracy while complying with privacy standards and train administrators to interpret data effectively. Additionally, the investment in data systems should justify the return in improved decision-making. Example of Data Visualization at work
