As you acclimate to sheltering at home, you may find yourself with the time and inspiration to consider contributing to AACRAO’s professional research journals, SEM Quarterly and College &University. Both
journals are seeking manuscript submissions for 2020-21.
AACRAO members get access to both journals. Learn about our free three-month membership offer.
SEM Quarterly (SEMQ)
chronicles the evolution of strategic enrollment management through peer-reviewed original research and thought pieces. The journal categorizes articles into several columns: “A View from the Top,” “The Research Agenda,” “Leading
Strategies,” “The Global Context,” Graduate and Professional Schools,” “Cases from the Field,” and “The Buzz.” SEMQ manuscripts should be based on original research or practice in strategic enrollment management, demonstrating familiarity with SEM concepts and research.
College & University (C&U) is AACRAO’s long-running professional research journal, which covers general topics of interest to higher education registrars, admissions officers, and enrollment managers. C&U includes Feature articles (peer-reviewed research-based
and expert articles) as wells as Forum articles (commentaries, campus viewpoints, book reviews, and brief research pieces). C&U submissions may be of broader interest to student services researchers and practitioners. Both journals encourage submissions based on recent dissertations.
