Naviance Exploratory Study

Recent peer-reviewed study from the University of

Arkansas and the Denton (TX) ISD found that

using Naviance

• was a strong indicator of students applying to

college by making college and career

information available

• helped students create individualized learning

plans

• assisted in establishing a college-going culture

Go to Naviance.com to access this study

“… the length of time students

[have] access to and the number

of times students access

Naviance both predict college

application rates. Naviance

appears to be a beneficial tool for

school counselors to utilize in an

effort to increase their students’

college application rate.”
