Dr. Herzog earned a bachelor’s degree in economics and political science and a master’s degree in education administration from Eastern New Mexico University, a master’s degree in government studies from Georgetown University, and a doctorate in international technology analysis and management from the Korbel School of International Studies at the University of Denver.

Prior to joining RMU, Dr. Herzog was the Director of Institutional Analysis at the University of Nevada, Reno since 2001. He was a research fellow for the Western Association of Schools and Colleges Senior College & University Commission, focusing on new metrics for student success to support the accreditation process of institutions in the WASC region. His previous work experience also includes serving as a research associate with the Emirates Center for Strategic Studies & Research. A native of Switzerland, Dr. Herzog started his career working in the consumer credit department for Credit Suisse in Zurich.

His previous roles have prepared him for RMU’s growth and the need for continued analysis to ensure evidence-based decisions are made on a university-wide level. “Continued expansion at RMU, both programmatic and student enrollment, creates a greater need for managing and reporting growing mountains of data along ‘best practices’ in order to successfully support management and institutional stakeholders,” Dr. Herzog explains. “This includes institution-wide data integration and reporting, steeped in industry practices and protocols that I have been closely involved in and responsible for during the past two decades.”

A seasoned expert in data analysis, Dr. Herzog will be an ambassador for RMU to promote data-informed operations across all domains of the institution.
