Case Study: Belmont University cuts study abroad approval times with Terra Dotta

How Belmont University Found A Better Way to Manage Study Abroad

Belmont University needed a better way to manage study abroad as its outbound programs grew. The Nashville university was sending 700 students abroad and offering 45 faculty-led programs each year, but staff were relying on JotForm and multiple Excel files to check eligibility, track applications, and monitor student locations during risk events.

Terra Dotta provided a study abroad solution that automates the process from student applications to data management and website updates. With Terra Dotta, Belmont cut approval times in half, doubled the number of students applying for semester programs, and reduced reporting work so the office could pull reports in five minutes instead of weeks.
