College Scorecard
The U.S. Department of Education created its College Affordability and Transparency Center in 2011 to help students and their families find an affordable college. The Center gathers information on two- and four-year colleges and universities, focusing on graduation rate, cost of tuition, and amount students take in loans. The scorecard allows users to enter criteria (region, degree or major, size, etc.) and generate a list of colleges that meet their particular needs. The tool can also be used in reverse, with students entering in the name of a college and seeing how it scores across all criteria.
