Degree Analytics

At Degree Analytics we believe every student is capable of achieving a degree, provided that they have the right support. Unlike typical student success platforms that can only approximate what matters to student success, we have pioneered a cutting-edge predictive analytics system to actually measure student behavior and engagement. We help institutions better understand their students by quantifying how they engage with the campus, and what behaviors are contributing to their success - like 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. Using your institution's wireless network data (WiFi and Bluetooth), we're able to automatically quantify and measure student behavior and engagement. This allows us to understand "why"​ students are at risk, as opposed to merely drawing corollaries. What drives us (The Lion Chaser Manifesto): Quit living as if the purpose of life is to arrive safely at death. Run to the roar. Set God-sized goals. Pursue God-given passions. Go after a dream that is destined to fail without divine intervention. Stop pointing out problems. Become part of the solution. Stop repeating the past. Start creating the future. Face your fears. Fight for your dreams. Grab opportunity by the mane and don't let go! Live like today is the first day and last day of your life. Burn sinful bridges. Blaze new trails. Live for the applause of nail-scarred hands. Don't let what's wrong with you keep you from worshiping what's right with God. Dare to fail. Dare to be different. Quit holding out. Quit holding back. Quit running away. Chase the lion.
