For Schools
If you`ve ever thought, “There ought to be a way to use the Internet to carry a lot of the work I do so that I can concentrate my energy on more targeted support of students,” CollegesLike carries that load for you.
CollegesLike was created because College Counselors, their students, and family members need better and Free tools to support the great work that you already do.
The magic of CollegesLike begins with a lot of data. The data on 6000+ colleges and universities comes from the U.S. Department of Education`s Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS). Then we eliminated colleges that did not meet certain criteria. Colleges in our search must be:
Primarily academic institutions. Not trade schools, like beauty colleges.
Located within the 50 United States or the District of Columbia.
Awards undergraduate college degrees. Graduate-only institutions removed.
Participates in IPEDS system. No data means no comparison.
Currently operational. Excludes closing/closed institutions.
Accredited by regional accrediting organizations.
Predominantly physical campuses. Online colleges excluded.
Territorial colleges differ too much to compare with mainland ones.
