University of Southern California Selects Blue/Evaluations by Explorance

Montreal, Canada – June 25, 2013 – University of Southern California (USC) has chosen to leverage Blue to fully automate their course evaluation process.

USC joins other prestigious institutions in California to leverage Blue/Evaluations, including the University of San Francisco, Claremont McKenna College, Saint Mary’s College, Loyola Marymount University and UCLA Anderson. As one of the largest universities in the US, USC required a flexible and scalable solution to accommodate its growing enrollment. Blue’s ability to seamlessly integrate with Blackboard Learn™ to automate course assessments was a key deciding factor.

“USC selected Blue to provide an online course evaluations system due to its ability to integrate with Blackboard, the customizability of the system, and because of Explorance’s experience working with other universities,” explained Alison Beck, Assistant Director of Academic Affairs, Office of the Provost at the university.

The University of Southern California is one of the world’s leading private research universities. With its main campus in Los Angeles, USC is home to close to 40,000 students enrolled in undergraduate, graduate and professional programs. With a strong tradition of integrating liberal and professional education, USC fosters a vibrant culture of public service and encourages students to cross academic as well as geographic boundaries in their pursuit of knowledge.
