Description
Summary:College Scorecard is an online tool provided by the US Department of Education to aid students, parents and others in the evaluation and/or selection of an institution of higher education. The website, first rolled-out in September 2015 as an Obama Administration initiative, provides users with access to an astounding amount of data about college admissions, student demographics and after-graduation outcomes. The site provides no rankings or judgments but instead allows users to compare colleges by a number of criteria and do their own analyses.
