When colleges and universities partner with Advantage, the results are clear. In our most recent client satisfaction surveys, five out of six institutions gave Advantage the highest possible ratings, and every single one confirmed that Advantage delivered exactly what was promised.

“Truly extraordinary service,” said Larenda Fultz, Dean of Student Services at Dyersburg State Community College, adding that “our ADG project director made excellent suggestions and worked around any hiccups.”

The consistent theme across all feedback is that Advantage not only meets expectations but exceeds them. Now, let’s take a closer look at why so many schools swear by the Advantage experience.

“Advantage Design Group created an online pre-orientation module system that helps with onboarding new students. The team is very organized and helped us complete the modules in stages that were completed exactly as they described. We still use the online modules, and the price and updates have been exactly as laid out from the beginning… So far, they do not fall short in any area.”

Across every partnership, institutions can expect the same dependable results: smooth launches, reduced administrative burdens, and confidence in a platform that performs exactly as promised.
