Importance of a degree or certificate

A college degree or certificate helps graduates get higher‐ paying jobs and get hired faster. Individuals with a college degree earn $1 million more over their lifetime compared to those with only a high school diploma. (Khan Academy, 2014).

Where can your student earn a degree?

Public & Private 4‐year Colleges/Universities

Finding the Right Fit

Asking the Right Questions

Small or large?

Diversity?

Urban, suburban, rural? Athletics and activities?

Retention and graduation rate? Two year or four year?

School with specific major or school with lots

• f variety?

Cost?

Weather?

More important is finding a college that is right for the student, and that the goals and personality of the student are well matched with the college. Students who think first about who they are and what they want are more likely to choose a college that fits them.

individual college to determine requirements.

Test Scores

• How is time spent outside the classroom?

Student Activities and Employment

career interests/goals.

• Should be descriptive and specific to the student

as an individual.

advocate’s perspective (teacher, counselor, mentor, employer, organization advisor or sponsor, etc.)
