Our Mission

Our mission is to break down barriers to student success.

Coursedog provides higher ed with modern technology solutions – empowering institutions, students, and communities across the globe. We believe higher education is the world's greatest engine for opportunity.

Coursedog's founding story is rooted in the desire to help students achieve their highest goals. In 2018, Coursedog's co-founders and then college students, Justin Wenig and Nick Diao, were frustrated by how difficult it was to get into the classes they needed to graduate on time. After speaking with higher education provosts and registrars to better understand how academic scheduling works, they came away with a vision that permeates the company today.

Nationally, only 37 percent of students enrolled in higher education institutions will complete their degrees. This number is even lower for Black (23 percent), Latinx (24 percent), and low-income learners (26 percent).

Institutions have inadvertently created barriers to completion: unclear degree pathways, misalignment of academic schedules with student demand, and creating time conflicts in their academic schedules. Our research shows that university administrators are spending 60% of their time on manual, oftentimes duplicative, data entry and very few have the right data for decision-making.

And we believe that higher education’s value will become stronger than ever with modern software. Coursedog is an integrated academic operations platform which helps higher ed maximize operational efficiency, innovate with data and accelerate student success.

Today, we partner with over 120 institutions to provide Integrated Academic Scheduling, Curriculum Planning, Catalog Management, Student Success Analytics, accelerating pathways to on-time graduation for over 1 million students worldwide.

Our Values

Growth Mindset

We're always learning new tricks. We embrace curiosity as the driving force behind our innovation and success, and are always seeking feedback to improve ourselves and our work. By always setting higher standards for ourselves, we aim for excellence to improve the impact of our work and our technology. We see challenges as opportunities to grow, and foster an environment where continuous improvement isn't just encouraged—it's expected. We cultivate a culture where potential is limitless, growth is a shared journey, and humility provides the space necessary to improve everyday.

Ownership

At Coursedog, we don't sit and stay—we go and fetch. We believe in a bias to action with a clear focus on outcomes, and take tremendous pride in achieving them. Our team embodies accountability and integrity, making sure we follow through on our commitments and deliver results with intentionality. We embrace ambiguity as an opportunity to provide value, indexing on that bias to action and moving swiftly even in uncertain situations. By staying focused on the end goal rather than simply the process, our actions consistently drive meaningful impact for our customers and our business.

Customer Obsession

Coursedog is higher ed’s best friend. We put our customers, and their students, at the forefront of everything we do. We listen, empathize, and act with urgency to understand and meet our customers' needs. By approaching every interaction with care and thoughtfulness, we aim to build deep connections while solving issues quickly and learning from each experience. Every action we take is driven by the goal of delivering the best possible outcomes for our partners and their students.

Gratitude

We’re grateful for the loyal companionship of our customers and our Coursedog colleagues. Our success is built on collective efforts, and we deeply value the trust and hard work that make our mission a reality. We don’t take this for granted—by recognizing and celebrating the exemplary contributions of our peers and partners, we create a culture where growth mindset, ownership, and customer obsession come easily because appreciation and support for one another are at the forefront. Gratitude fuels the way we collaborate, driving us to go further, together.

“A company with a progressive & positive culture that practices what it preaches. Great camaraderie across teams, centred around enjoying fulfilling work & creating a great product.”
