Easier program discovery for students
Stronger connections between programs and careers
Clearer academic pathways and credential options
A more engaging catalog that reflects your campus
Give students more reasons to explore. Work with CourseLeaf’s design team to add page layouts and promotional content blocks that highlight programs, campus news, and student success stories. These enhancements help you present academic information in a way that reflects your institution and draws attention to what makes it distinctive.
Examples: University of Alabama, MIT, Kent State University, Iowa State University


Make a broad range of academic options easier to explore. Interactive page filters and graphic tiles help students narrow program listings by criteria such as department, interest, or career focus. Students can concentrate on relevant options without working through every program in the catalog.
Examples: Saint Louis University, University of New Hampshire
Help students understand where their education could lead. Add career information from sources such as Lightcast or the U.S. Department of Labor to connect academic programs with related occupations and labor market insights. Bringing career context into the catalog supports more informed conversations about program choices.
Examples: Citrus College, Kent State University, City Colleges of Chicago


Make the steps toward a credential easier to understand. Guided pathways present a sequence of courses, while information about stackable credentials helps students see how one credential can build toward another. These catalog enhancements give students and advisors a clearer starting point for academic planning.
Examples: Cuyahoga Community College, San Jacinto College, Broward College
