Degree audits are somewhat of a technological marvel. In the first episode of season 7, we explore what a degree audit is, what it does, and ways that institutions can (and should) be using the data degree audits provide in order to make their students’ lives (and their own) easier. Along the way we talk about curriculum development, the Catalog and the role it plays as the foundation of the audit, and the way catalog year governs requirements students are held to.

NOTE: I think I said “invasive advising” in the episode…I meant “intrusive advising,” but I didn’t re-record it. I apologize.
