Exploratory data mining is specifically designed to help the user explore the data and find
interesting information buried within the large data that he or she is sifting through. There is so
much data that we have within higher educational institutions, that we ought to begin converting
that data into useful information and subsequently, knowledge! Data mining is clearly one way
that higher education can gain much more knowledge about its customers and target customers.
