Case Study: Pratt Institute achieves faster approvals and streamlined scheduling with Coursedog

Pratt Institute cuts curriculum approval time by 90% with Coursedog

Pratt Institute faced significant bottlenecks across its academic operations due to legacy catalog and events systems that were poorly integrated with its Ellucian Colleague SIS. These systems lacked transparency, were difficult to configure, and created a heavy manual burden for managing curriculum proposals, publishing the catalog, and scheduling events. To solve these challenges, Pratt chose to implement the Coursedog academic operations platform.

By implementing Coursedog, Pratt Institute replaced its fragmented systems with a single, unified platform. Coursedog provided configurable workflows and real-time visibility, which dramatically reduced the time to approve curriculum changes by 90%, cut room assignment time for scheduling by 66%, and streamlined the processing of over 1,400 event requests in the first five months. The solution eliminated manual workarounds and gave staff direct control over processes.
