Here’s another tip — Find out the percentage of graduates from a college who have found good jobs within 6 months of graduation.

One excellent site that provides this sort of information of :

http://www.collegedata.com

From their site, you can search the name of a college prospect ( or the college your child is already attending ). The COLLEGE PROFILE will tell you at the section : “STUDENTS”, how many percent of their recent graduates were offered Full-Time Employment Within 6 Months.

It will also give the percentage of graduates Pursuing advanced study directly after graduation.

CAVEAT – Some colleges prefer NOT to give this information so sometimes you might see NO DATA GIVEN. However, I will say that colleges with extremely good placement rates will proudly highlight their percentages.
