How College to Career works

College to Career helps students compare realistic paths from school to work.

Start with location, interests, strengths, and constraints. The app looks for schools and majors that fit, then connects them to career outcomes.

1

Start near home

Use a ZIP code, commute radius, online preference, or relocation plan to focus the search.

2

Find matching majors

Search school program lists and official education data for majors related to the student’s interests.

3

Compare schools

Show admissions links, estimated costs, distance, online availability, and student outcome signals when available.

4

Connect careers

Link majors to careers with salary, growth, openings, and education requirements.

5

Rank the options

Balance fit, location, affordability, admissions realism, school outcomes, and career outlook.

6

Explain the tradeoffs

Summarize why a path may fit and what the student should check next.

What Matters

  • A nearby option can be better than a famous option if it fits the student’s life.
  • Costs, admissions odds, and commute time matter alongside career outcomes.
  • Online and relocation options should stay available for students who want them.
  • Every recommendation should help the student know what to check next.
