College Comparison Web Site Debuts

Want to compare colleges, but don’t believe in rankings? Check out the new University and College Accountability Network Web site, when it goes live tomorrow.

Produced by the National Association of Independent Colleges and Universities, UCAN, as it calls itself, contains data from more than 500 institutions of higher education. There is information on enrollment, courses of study, accreditation, faculty-student ratios, and graduation rates—all provided by the institutions. There is also information provided by the U.S. Department of Education on average student-loan sizes, overall tuition, and undergraduate class sizes.

The colleges can be searched by city, state, distance from home, and affiliation.

UCAN doesn’t rank schools, but we’d be interested in your ranking of UCAN. You can tell us if UCAN is useful: Just add a comment by clicking the button at the end of this story. —Josh Fischman
