Unit Perspective

For department chairs, program directors, and local analysts

CEDAR is most immediately useful at the level where many decisions are made.

  • How do students progress through your major?
  • Where do bottlenecks or unexpected pathways emerge?
  • How do different groups of students encounter the same requirements?

CEDAR allows departments to analyze their own structures directly, supporting locally informed interventions.


What matters at the unit level

  • Course and sequence outcomes
  • Bottlenecks and student pathways
  • Local context for equity and success
  • Actionable, explainable results

How CEDAR helps

  • Direct access to analyses for department/program questions
  • Reproducible, documented results for curriculum committees
  • Tools for surfacing actionable insight from standard data
