Check out the new Federal Website College Scorecard! The website is intended to help students make more informed decisions on which college they would like or plan to attend.
The College Scorecard is one of six components to the newly launched Federal Website: Collegecost (Collegecost.edu.gov)
Using the College Scorecard tool:
1. Enter the name of your school.
2. Select from the pop -up drop down list.
3. View information provided
Quickly giving the College Scorecard a test run, I concluded the following:
1. The College Scorecard tool is fairly easy to use.
2. It provides basic information regarding each selected school such as costs, graduation rate, median borrowing, undergraduate enrollment and more.
3. Can search colleges by other criteria besides entering the college name such as Digital Marketing for the Degree & Major. Note: University of Michigan - Dearborn is on of few universities in the United States that offer the Digital Marketing degree.
4. Beneficial to students researching colleges to attend.
5. Greatly beneficial to students who want snapshots of multiple colleges without going to numerous different websites. One stop shop so to speak!
