The essential public resource for
educational information.

Bring new users to your library

Imagine a library without a reference section. If your users need to research college curriculum, courses, and policies today, they need to navigate to multiple websites and dig deep to find academic information. When your library offers access to DegreeData, you open the world of opportunity to repeat and new visitors.

Who uses DegreeData in Libraries:

  • Students who are looking for degree and course information.
  • Curriculum developers who need to evaluate comparative offerings at other institutions.
  • Academic researchers who need a deeper dive into historical and current data.
  • Faculty seeking examples of course descriptions from other colleges.
  • Deans, Department Chairs and Academic VPs who need to compare skills and outcomes information.

Why DegreeData should be in your library

The reality check for learners

High school students and adult learners are looking for education which will help them find solid employment and build careers. Colleges market heavily to these individuals, but too often the prospective learner doesn’t understand the actual requirements for graduation before they choose a program. For instance, there’s a big difference between forensics as depicted on TV and what it actually takes to pursue that career!

When you offer the CurriculumFinder at your library, you are creating a publicly available free resource for learners of all types. No library should be without it.

We work with Library Solutions and subscription providers.

DegreeData will also work with your existing library solutions provider. Tell them you’d like to include the CurriculumFinder in their next offering. They can contact licensing@degreedata.com.

Affordable Pricing for Libraries

You don’t need to call us to find pricing — it’s no secret. Subscription fees are user-based, not enrollment-based.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you work with Library Solutions providers?

Yes, we do. Adding DegreeData to your offerings is an easy choice for data that can’t be found in a single site elsewhere.

What other library resources are available for academic and curriculum research?

The grandfather of all higher education research is the US Dept. of Education’s National Center for Education Statistics (NCES). They offer deep data on just about everything related to college work, but they don’t actually link to catalogs for more detailed curriculum information. For that, you need to subscribe to DegreeData’s CurriculumFinder.

Why is DegreeData unique?

We put the information your users need in one place and the data is available for licensing. Unlike other providers who use the data to build credit transfer solutions, we are not a software provider. That means we are free to license data to anyone who needs it.

What is in the CurriculumFinder?

The CurriculumFinder is the gateway to a library of current and archived academic catalogs. It is searchable by any keyword, program name, course title or policy.

Why are college catalogs so important?

There is a lot of unofficial information about college offerings, but the academic catalog is the official statement of record of every single course and program offered. To learn more about this critical research resource, see Why are catalogs so important.
