Pathways Analytics vs Auto-Grad Solutions

Colleges across the nation are adopting innovative measures to improve graduation rates, with “auto-grad” systems emerging as a popular solution. These systems, often modified from existing degree audit frameworks, aim to streamline the path to graduation.

The Challenge with Current Systems

While auto-grad solutions represent progress, they fall short in providing a comprehensive view of student progress. Critical insights, such as identifying students who are veering off their academic path or determining which courses will be in high demand for the next semester, remain obscured. This limitation necessitates a labor-intensive, individual review process for each student.

In contrast, ZogoTech’s Pathways module allows anyone to see every requirement each student needs to complete, for every program — in under a second. Discover more ways Pathways Analytics is setting a new standard for academic success:
