"We selected DecisionDesk to provide our graduate programs a product that can be customized to each department's needs," said Matt Brown, Director of Information Technology, Graduate & Research Affairs at San Diego State University. "Additionally, DecisionDesk provides applicant review for our faculty — both on campus and at our partner institutions — which was a big factor in our selection process."
With over 100 graduate programs that drive approximately 10,000 department applications and 20,000 letters of recommendation per year, SDSU needed a centralized solution to automate the department admissions process and to share applications with partner institutions that are part of SDSU's Joint Doctoral Programs. DecisionDesk will simplify the application experience for applicants and letter writers so each program has a highly intuitive, attractive, and clearly-branded application form. Faculty and staff will benefit from an online review process with near real-time insight into each program's applicant pipeline. Another key consideration for SDSU was DecisionDesk's long-standing commitment of providing technical support to both applicants and staff.
"We are thrilled to have SDSU as such an enthusiastic partner," said John Knific, CEO of DecisionDesk. "Freeing up staff time from manual and administrative tasks in the admissions process will enable SDSU to spend more time shaping its world-class graduate programs."
