The College Scorecard

The College Scorecard is a tool created by the U.S. Department of Education to help students and families compare colleges and universities. It provides key information about institutions, such as tuition costs, graduation rates, average salaries after graduation, and student debt levels. By using the Scorecard, prospective students can make informed decisions about where to study based on factors important to them, like financial outcomes and student success. It aims to promote transparency in higher education, helping individuals find a school that fits their needs and budget.
