Analysis Of Higher Education Research Group

The Analysis of Higher Education (AHE) research group is focused on supporting student success and modernizing academic pathways by providing data-driven solutions. Through innovative projects such as the Transfer Student Portal, Cohort Analytics, Curricular Analytics Project (CAP Study), and RAMPS, the group aims to optimize degree progress, improve institutional decision-making, and support students in achieving timely graduation. These initiatives address key challenges in higher education, including credit transfer efficiency, cohort-based academic tracking, curricular complexity, and major transition planning. AHE provides students, advisors, and administrators with actionable insights by integrating advanced analytics and user-centered design that drive informed decision-making and institutional improvement.

Each project within AHE’s portfolio focuses on a critical aspect of academic progression. The Transfer Student Portal ensures seamless credit articulation and personalized degree planning, minimizing lost credits for transfer students. Cohort Analytics improves traditional degree audits by providing cohort-level insights into student progress and identifying barriers to completion. The CAP Study offers a systematic evaluation of degree structures, helping institutions reduce curricular complexity and optimize pathways for on-time graduation. RAMPS supports students navigating major changes by offering real-time assessments of credit applicability and graduation timelines. Together, these projects contribute to a more transparent, efficient, and student-centered higher education system.
