College Scorecards

As mentioned in the President's State of the Union address, the Department of Education is now posting scorecards for the nation's colleges and universities.  The URL is whitehouse.gov/scorecard

Each report contains:

The College Scorecard provides students and families with clear information through an interactive tool that lets them choose among any number of options based on their individual needs – including location, size, campus setting, and degree and major programs. Each Scorecard includes five key pieces of data about a college: costs, graduation rate, loan default rate, average amount borrowed, and employment. These data will be updated periodically, and the Department plans to publish information on earnings potential in the coming year.
