Degree Analytics

Degree Analytics is a developer of a student analytics software used to help in engaging university students. Unlike typical student success platforms that can only approximate what matters to student success, the company has a cutting-edge predictive analytics system to actually measure student behavior and engagement. It helps universities better understand their students by quantifying how they engage with the campus, and what behaviors are contributing to their success, whether or not they're attending class, how they use the library and other campus resources, and identifying at-risk students in need of support.

Degree Analytics is a company that specializes in providing data analytics solutions for colleges and universities. The company's core offering focuses on transforming existing campus data into actionable insights to improve student recruitment, retention, and campus planning. Degree Analytics utilizes data from enterprise wireless networks, Learning Management Systems (LMS), and over 50 other tools already in use on campuses. This approach allows institutions to leverage their existing infrastructure without the need for additional hardware investments. The company's solution aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of the student experience, enabling educational institutions to make data-informed decisions.
