The merger of ERB and EMA is complete—E3n is officially here! Read more.

E3n Membership

E3n gives enrollment teams the tools to connect admission decisions to academic outcomes, creating a through-line of student journey data that proves your school's value to families, Heads, and Boards alike.

Get ready! Member registration opens in mid-June.

The enrollment-to-outcomes story starts here.

You’re not processing applications; you’re running a system. And that system runs on data: yield assumptions you can trust, applicant insights you can act on, and the ability to see shifts before they become challenges.

E3n gives enrollment teams the infrastructure to move from reactive to proactive. By connecting industry research, prospecting tools, and enrollment assessments with academic achievement data, E3n is creating a single view of the student lifecycle—from first inquiry through graduation—that supports more confident enrollment decisions and a more credible institutional story. For Heads. For Boards. And for the families choosing between your school and another.

What Our Members Say

"We leverage EMA in various ways. Certainly, we use the SAO and the SSAT. And the daily Member Community emails that come through my inbox early in the morning remind me that the entire school community is thinking through the same questions we are. And it's exciting to have those conversations and know that we're not in this by ourselves. To remind ourselves that we're hundreds and thousands strong is impactful and important, particularly from a professional development opportunity for my staff."

"Not being an EMA member is not an option. It's where I get so much information, professional development, and support. Every newsletter that goes out, every visit we get from the EMA team, and every resource provided by EMA help us do our job and do it well."

"What brings me to EMA as a member is collaborative professional development. It's the idea that we are all in this together, whether it be data gathering or resource sharing, or professional development; EMA encompasses all those things and allows enrollment management professionals to have a centering of where they're at, both at their school and also at their larger communities."
