Choose a College More Easily with the College Scoreboard, Featured on ed.gov
Choosing a college can be an overwhelming process. Back in the day there were few independent reviews of colleges and no real way of knowing if the information found was accurate. Unearthing lesser known, high quality colleges outside of the region was tough. It was even tougher to figure out if a college’s students found jobs after graduating or even graduated at all. In short, I didn’t know what I didn’t know.
The College Scorecard, called for by President Obama, solves this challenge by giving everyone – students, families, guidance counselors and nonprofits – access to a whole host of data verified by the U.S. Department of Education on thousands of institutions across the nation in an easy-to-use online tool. College is still the best investment a person can make in them self—bachelor’s degree-holders earn roughly $1 million more over their lifetimes than high school graduates.
The College Scorecard makes choosing between thousands of institutions easier by providing simple to understand information on institutions’ incoming students and the graduating students’ outcomes. Click here.
