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.”
