Why GPS?
Too Many Choices and Too Little Guidance Most colleges have more than 100 majors and hundreds of courses.
Most students are unaware of their career options.
45%
of students haven’t seen a counselor by the third week of class.
Why GPS?
1 counselor : 400 students
Why GPS?
Behavioral Economics: Choice
Too much choice
— especially uninformed choice — leads to poor decisions.
Why GPS?
Behavioral Economics: Default
People accept — even welcome — a default choice designed by informed professionals.

Meta-Major to Majors Help students make the big choices (a meta major/major).
Once in a meta-major, help students narrow their study to a major.
A semester-by-semester academic map is the sequential, prescriptive schedule of classes for the meta-major and the major.
ACADEMIC MAPS: 4 essential components – the narrative, sample schedule, milestones and employment opportunities The narrative explains the use of academic maps and any specific information about degree requirements, including admissions requirements The sample schedule outlines which courses should be taken in which specific term in order to satisfy all
requirements
The milestones identify critical courses for timely progress and the last semester in which they can be completed for on-time graduation.
Critical grades for Milestone courses may be included.

Critical Path Courses Prerequisite courses are designated for each semester. Taken in the recommended sequence.
The college guarantees the critical path courses are available.
Intrusive Advising Students must see their advisors before registering for classes if: – they do not complete the critical path course on schedule – they fall 2 or more courses behind on their academic map – they have a 2.0 GPA or less for the semester

Additional Considerations Remediation is embedded or corequisite 15 credit hours is the default Degree requirements should not exceed 120 credits for a 4-year degree and 60 credits for 2-year degree Supported by technology
Working with states to significantly increase the number of Americans with quality career certificates or college degrees and to close attainment gaps for traditionally underrepresented populations.
