College is for EVERYONE
College is for EVERYONE
College is post-secondary education that includes two-year associate degrees, four-year bachelor's degrees, career certificates, and trade apprenticeships that directly prepare students to work.
Post secondary education widens a student's career choices. Beyond expanding access to higher-paying fields, credentials help job applicants stand out
Match and Fit
Match and Fit
Academic Match
Academic Match
The goal of finding an academic match is to find a program with a courseload and coursework that matches their learning strengths and interests. A quality academic match comes down to aligning a student's high school grades, difficulty of classes, and test scores with an institution's average student. A good match also considers graduation retention rates, out-of-class opportunities (like research), and course requirements for their intended major.
Personal and Financial Fit
Personal and Financial Fit
A personal fit considers the day-to-day of the student. A good fit supports a student's well-being and accomodates their financial situation. This involves several core factors: overall attendance costs, campus culture, location, and campus support services (like mental health care and career centers).
Students can use a college's net price calculator, join a campus tour, and talk with current undergrads. The financial aid and disabilities offices will also be helpful resources towards building an accurate picture of life on campus.
