11 Researching Colleges

Higher education, sometimes referred to as postsecondary education or simply “college,” is education beyond high school. This includes trade school and community college, as well as public and private colleges and universities.

There are several higher education degree programs available:

• Certificate Program is an undergraduate degree program that is one year or less of full-time, directed study. Certificate programs can be pursued independently or in addition to an associate or bachelor’s degree to enhance skills or expertise in a specific area. • Associate Degree is an undergraduate degree program that is two years of full-time study. • Bachelor’s Degree is an undergraduate degree program that is four years of full-time study. • Master’s and Professional Degree are graduate degree programs that are typically two to four years of full-time study after completion of a bachelor’s degree.

Types of schools:

• Career and Trade Schools generally offer certificate programs. • Community Colleges offer certificate and associate degree programs. • Public Colleges and Universities generally offer associate and bachelor’s degree programs and may also offer master’s and professional degrees. • Private Colleges and Universities generally offer associate and bachelor’s degree programs and may also offer master’s and professional degrees.

3 What to Consider When Selecting a College

Field of Study. Before choosing a college, consider what you would like to study. Once you know what you’re interested in and what your professional goals are, you can begin to research schools offering programs that will help you achieve those goals. Check out careeronestop.org for a list of careers and salaries.

Clubs and Organizations. College isn’t just about expanding your skills and knowledge—it’s also about meeting new people and discovering new interests. Research colleges that offer clubs or organizations that allow you to continue hobbies you are already involved in or offer an opportunity to try some new ones.

Location. A key factor when selecting a school is the school’s location. For many students, college is an opportunity to call a new place home. Since you’ll be spending the majority of your time on campus, it’s important to enjoy the location. Consider weather, culture and size when researching schools.

Accreditation. The goal of accreditation is to make sure that an educational program or institution meets standards of quality that will allow credentials earned to be used for education at a different institution or for employment. To determine if schools are accredited, visit the U.S. Department of Education Database of Accredited Postsecondary Education at ope.ed.gov/accreditation.

Financial Aid. Most schools offer federal student financial aid, but some do not. Those that don’t offer financial aid can be more expensive. If you are unsure whether a school you are interested in offers federal financial aid, contact the school directly.

Affordability. It is a good idea to look at public colleges and universities in your state of residence first. State colleges and universities offer reduced tuition rates for residents. Community college credits cost less per credit hour, so some students planning to continue on to a bachelor’s or higher degree may be able to transfer their community college credits into another program. It is important to work closely with both your current and future school when planning to transfer.

When it comes to affordability, what really matters is how much a school is going to cost you to attend.

The amount an individual student pays is often lower than the published price. Students should focus on net price – the cost of attending a school after grants and scholarships. In some cases, schools with the lowest published price, such as public college and universities, are the most affordable. In other cases, more expensive schools provide larger grants and scholarships, resulting in a lower net price and making them more affordable. Research the net price of schools using each school’s Net Price Calculator, which can typically be found on the financial aid page of the school’s website.

4 Graduation Rate and Job Placement. A primary goal when attending college is to graduate with skills that will help you secure an enjoyable and good-paying job, so it’s important to make sure that after all your hard work, you get there. Research the graduation rate and job placement statistics of colleges you’re interested in attending. Higher graduation and job placement rates often signify a school with a strong professional network and successful internship or job placement programs.

No matter what your preferences are when choosing a school, there are just as many types of schools as there are types of students. It’s important to take the time to find the right fit for you—geographically, academically, socially and financially!

Numbers don’t lie! Studies show that bachelor’s degree holders can expect to earn over $1 million dollars more in their lifetime than high school graduates, and those with a doctorate can expect to earn over $2 million dollars more than high school graduates.
