The U.S. Department of Education developed the college scorecard (www.collegescorecard .ed.gov) to assist students with finding the college or university that will give them the best chance for success. The college scorecard allows students to search for colleges by program/degree, location, size, and name. Utilizing the college scorecard, find two colleges or universities that interest you and answer the following questions.

Required
a. How does the average annual cost compare for the two colleges or universities selected?
b. What are the graduation rates for your selected schools? Are they above or below the national average?
c. What are the salaries after attending your selected schools? Are they above or below the national average?
d. Comparing the scorecards of the two schools, which school appears to offer the better “value”?
e. What are some strengths and weaknesses of the college scorecard?
