About Stellic

Stellic is a unified SaaS platform designed to empower all students on their way to degree completion and career success. Originally built by students to more effectively plan ahead, today we’re really proud to serve all segments of higher ed, at institutions like Carnegie Mellon University, Academy of Art University, Tufts University, UChicago, Ohio State, University of Oklahoma among others.

A bit about our philosophy: we’ve put student experience at the heart of our platform to address some of higher ed’s biggest challenges right now. 40% of the students who enter college will get lost in navigating degree requirements and will drop out — costing $200B to institutions annually. A big cause is that most of higher ed has been using antiquated and disparate tools to manage student progress, and that’s led to low student engagement, overwhelmed advisors, wasted resources. 

Stellic’s response is to give students a powerful, user-friendly experience to plan ahead and manage their progress, helps them make informed decisions and take ownership. That data is then put to good use. Advisors and administrators have access to student planning and progress data like never before, which helps scale support and allocate resources based on what the students need. It’s a win-win for everyone involved. 

With millions of students in higher ed, Stellic's work is far from finished. By joining our team, you’ll help get us a step closer to our mission of empowering all students to have the best-possible experiences and outcomes.
