GME Lifecycle Survey Suite | Fees

The following pricing plans are available for the GME Lifecycle Survey Suite. Participating programs will choose one of these Decision Packages for each survey engaged. These fees are per survey per program. These fees include the license to our copyrighted lifecycle questionnaires, survey and database programming along with associated quality assurance, survey fielding and respondent support, project management, advanced analyses, school support, and report development.

We leverage economies of scale with a template-driven approach so that our fees are much lower than schools conducting similar surveys internally while providing advanced analyses and benchmarking not available with internally-conducted surveys.

These packages are identical for all GME Lifecycle Surveys (Entry, Midterm, Exit, and Alumni) with the exception of the Alumni Survey. The Monitor Decision Package and Custom Survey Package are not available for the Alumni Survey since custom questions are included in the First Year Development fee for that initiative (more information available here in this support article).

First Year Development Fee ($1,300 for Entry, Midterm, Exit \| $2,800 for Alumni) Includes questionnaire branding (school logo and naming convention), Premium Support, and survey administrator training for optimal response rates and report interpretation. The Development Fee is recurring for Alumni Surveys as they are administered every 3-5 years due to their longitudinal nature.

As the research partner of the Executive MBA Council and the MBA Roundtable, Percept Research is proud to offer discounts to the First Year Development Fees to members of these collaborative organizations. If your school is a member of either of these organizations, your program may qualify.

Please be sure to indicate if your school is a member institution when submitting a registration form (in the 'How to Buy' page) for each GME Lifecycle survey.
