Overview
DegreeHub is a free Canadian resource that connects students with their optimum undergraduate post-secondary school program to meet their specific needs. The DegreeHub model was developed in partnership with MyBlueprint and uses a vast database of surveys of recent university graduates and includes information on every known undergraduate degree offering in Canada.
Students take a 10-to-15-minute survey to build a profile and answer a series of questions about their personality, interests, and aptitudes. The program uses Artificial Intelligence to develop an understanding of what motivates them. Students are provided with a personalized list of specific university programs for which their profile indicates they would be a good fit. Users are then assigned a percentage match score with each program and presented with information on the various universities that offer said program. Users can navigate their results and select the options they prefer. Students can privately save their results or share them.
Objectives
To support learners to explore Canadian post-secondary institutions that match their goals, interests, and needs.
Instructions
Educators can have students log on to DegreeHub to complete the survey questions about personality, interests, and aptitudes. It uses the responses provided by other users to model each person’s estimated satisfaction with different programs and universities in Canada. It includes information on every known undergraduate degree program in Canada. Students are assigned a percentage match with different programs and shown schools that are likely a great fit based on their responses. Students can view their resulting matches in 10 minutes and also view the post-secondary institutions that link to each match. This information would be helpful to add to the student portfolio in myBlueprint. This tool would serve as a good springboard to support learners to narrow down possible post-secondary options.
