New Interactive Scorecard for Colleges, Unveiled

Last week President Obama announced that the White House has now made available an interactive College Scorecard web site for families of prospective college students can use for financial comparison.

 

 

It appears the site still needs some work, as some experts say some of the data is old however it does connect you to the college’s price calculator.
 

A spokesperson from the Department of Education said the scorecard will “help families easily compare schools on value and affordability.”

 

 

Future plans for the scorecard are to compare how recent college graduates from every school stand up in the job market and what their hiring salaries are.  This will allow you to see which institutions are producing graduates who are getting jobs in today’s economy.
 

This seems to be a good tool for high school students and their families, even though it may lack some information. Everyone loves a one-stop-shop tool.  View the College Scorecard website and post your reviews here.
