The College Pathway is designed to help students identify colleges and universities that match their academic profile and their financial capacity. Explore Metrics from IPEDS and NCES including cost of attendance, admission and retention rates, transfer rates, degrees offered, and financial aid opportunities, enabling students to make informed decisions about their college choices.
Provide every student with the same opportunity and access to current data which allows them to make informed decisions and compare their statistics to their current and prior peers.
Advantage Point includes a range of datasets from nationally-recognized sources such as IPEDS, Dept of Labor and Bureau of Labor Statistics. Students and their family can use these datasets to build a list of colleges to explore. Students can compare a wide range of metrics including admit, retention, transfer, 4- and 6-year graduation rates, cost of attendance by income level, percent of degrees awarded, achievement test benchmarks and more.
Our Financial Aid and Career Opportunity helps students and their parents model the cost of attending college by providing the tools to evaluate the average cost of college attendance. Visualize your outcomes by adjusting family income level, results from individual institution's net price calculator, as well as visualize loan amortization and future earnings based on educational level. Educational requirements and wages are displayed for the selected occupation.
