Course Pathfinder-AI-Driven Course Planning

Example

For a sophomore student who has completed basic prerequisites and expresses an interest in international economics, Course Pathfinder would suggest taking ECON 333 (International Economics) in the upcoming semester, aligning this with their academic trajectory and graduation timeline.

Scenario

A student entering their third year without having chosen an area of specialization may use Course Pathfinder to explore different fields within economics, such as environmental economics or economic theory, and receive guidance on which courses best fit these interests.

Example

Course Pathfinder can analyze a student's academic record to identify missing general education requirements and suggest courses that fulfill these while still aligning with the student's economic interests, such as a science course with economic applications.

Scenario

A junior student realizes they need additional credits in the Social and Behavioral Sciences category of general education. Course Pathfinder could recommend ECON 102 (Introductory Microeconomic Analysis and Policy) if not already taken, or another applicable course.

Example

If a student needs to balance a heavy coursework load with extracurricular commitments, Course Pathfinder can propose a balanced schedule that optimizes their course load across different days of the week or suggests online course options.

Scenario

A student involved in athletics might need a flexible schedule, particularly during their season. Course Pathfinder can help plan their courses around their training and competition schedules, ensuring they meet both academic and athletic commitments efficiently.
