Starting as an annual collection of college course catalogs, CollegesSource evolved by adopting new technologies — from Microfiche to CD-ROMs and now cloud-based technology thanks to the pioneering vision of founder and Chairman Harry Cooper. CollegeSource’s current database contains more than 160,000 catalogs online (containing over 130 million course description records), which underpin its innovative solutions for degree audit, academic planning, and transfer credit evaluation.
CollegeSource has nearly 100 employees, 50 percent of whom have been with the company for at least 25 years. CEO Kerry Cooper credits the success of CollegeSource to the commitment and longevity of our team, as well as the institutional knowledge its employees bring to the company and the marketplace, particularly those who have been with the company for many years.
“Our dedicated team has the depth of industry experience that allows us to keep innovating with the success of students and institutions in mind,” Cooper said, “Based on our long-term relationships with higher education institutions and knowledge of the evolving market, we have continued to develop market-leading, reliable, and stable degree audit and transfer solutions that help students achieve their individual academic and career goals.”
