See Every Path. Spot Every Completer. Schedule with Confidence.

Pathways Analytics empowers staff with real-time student completion data, allowing them to query large amounts of data in seconds to make sure students get, and stay, on path.

Many colleges struggle guiding students to completion.

While every institution strives for student success, there are a number of challenges that prevent many from easily finding the most effective pathways for students.

Unable to Track Student Pathways

It’s nearly impossible to keep students on path because degree audit type data is kept in silos that are difficult to access and too complex to quickly combine with other student success data.

Auto-Grad Solutions are Limited

Auto-grad solutions aren’t personalized to a role (like narrowing to an advisor’s students), are limited to looking at subsets of credentials, pathways and students, and put unnecessary burdens on SIS systems.

Manual Processes Waste Time

Most colleges manually run degree audits on a student-by-student basis. Because this process takes so long, colleges only look at a subset of students – potentially missing others who have earned credentials.

Ineffective Course Scheduling

With limited insights into students and their progression along their pathways, it is harder to predict which courses should be offered next semester.

“We were under awarding 700 degrees prior to using this product. And that was $1.8 million at the end of the day.”

Pathways Analytics

Easily track all students against all credentials (declared or not), for every term, in real-time.

Increase Enrollment and Retention

What is this student’s apparent program?
For an underfilled course, which students still need the course for their (apparent) program?
What combination of courses, and in what sequence, have successful students taken?
How many seats do I need for each course next semester?
What courses are the bottlenecks in my program?
How many programs cannot be completed completely at one location?

Advise Comprehensively

Which students in my caseload are registered for an off-path course, which could cause excess credits and delay time to degree?
Based on their course taking behavior, what program is this student really pursuing?
Which of my students are struggling with the last courses they need to graduate?
Which of my students are at risk of losing financial aid?
Which students are a couple credits away from stacking another credential, leading to a higher potential wage?

Improve Graduation Rates

Which students could graduate this semester?
Which students have already completed the requirements for a credential, declared or not?
Which students are close to completing the requirements for a credential, declared or not?
Which students were 1-2 classes away from completing ANY credential but transferred to a university?

“We're watching heavily that off-goal piece, so that we can keep people on their goal. Because, if we can keep people taking the classes that they need in the program that they're enrolled in, they're going to get done faster.”

Why Choose Pathways Analytics?

Evaluate Billions of Pathways

Easily track EVERY student against EVERY credential (declared or not) for EVERY term - in real-time. (A college with 10,000 students, 6 catalog years, and 100 programs can easily have 100 million pathways.)

Personalized Data

While working with the same student pathway data as everyone else, end users can personalize the data to their specific role. For example, filtering to only show students on their caseload or in their department.

Easily Report and Take Action

Provide end users with self-service reporting, letting them quickly find their completers, near-completers, or off-path students in real-time without burdening IR or IT teams. Then users can take action in a click.

Identify Off-Path Students

With every student and credential pathway being updated daily, end users will immediately know when a student has registered for an off-path course.

Improve Course Planning

Use real-time data on student pathway progression to more accurately predict course demand for next semester.

Streamline Course Substitutions

With an understanding of which courses are typically accepted as substitutions for core requirements, those substitutions can be built into student pathways.

Testimonials About Pathways Analytics

“Our team has been auto-awarding credentials for years, but it was always an extremely time-consuming and manual task. Pathways Analytics has not only dramatically streamlined this process for NCTC, but it has uncovered hundreds of additional unawarded credentials over the past 3 years. In 2023 alone, Pathways Analytics helped us find 706 credentials, which is estimated to be $1M+ in performance-based funding.”

"We found 1,800 students who had completed their degree but were not yet awarded. We were able to take that data, provide it to our degree audit team, and they were able to go out and find those students. Let them get awarded. Success points and money back to the institution."

“Pathways Analytics identified more than 1,000 completers who were not yet awarded. This resulted in an additional $364,000 in performance-based funding for the college.”

“Within 1 term, Pathways Analytics has identified over 300 possible completers, over 400 near completers, and more than 500 off-path students.”

"Just in the first few years, we generated enough in Texas Success Point funding to pay for the software."
