Town of Flower Mound, Texas
Evaluating the Potential for Health Sciences Education in a Growing Community
The Challenge
The Town of Flower Mound, Texas, sought to explore opportunities to expand educational offerings in health sciences to meet local workforce needs and support economic development. To do so, the Town needed a feasibility study assessing program demand, student interest, and institutional capacity—data that could attract academic partners and inform long-term planning for sustainable growth.
How We Helped
Tripp Umbach conducted a comprehensive feasibility study that analyzed regional and national workforce trends, academic program availability, and projected student demand. Using federal and state data, the team identified critical gaps in the healthcare labor market and evaluated Flower Mound’s readiness to host new health sciences programs. The study also provided detailed estimates for enrollment potential, staffing needs, startup costs, and projected economic impact—equipping local leaders with a strategic framework for next steps.
The Impact
The findings confirmed significant workforce shortages across multiple healthcare fields, paired with high student interest in health sciences education. Flower Mound was identified as a strong candidate for future program development, offering an attractive location for both academic institutions and students—particularly from underrepresented populations. With this data, the Town is well-positioned to pursue partnerships that will strengthen local education pathways and fuel continued regional growth.
