Overview

Each school profile page displays a chosen hero image and basic school information at the top of the page. Custom tags are assigned to each school based on a series of pre-set parameters, which may include tags like "Affordable school," "high graduation rate" and "best value." A sidebar includes basic tuition information and a CTA for them to take the next step.

Rankings

One of the main features of BestColleges are their series of school rankings that they put out every year. This section includes any rankings that school may have appeared in, as well as important dates the student might need to know in the application process.

Admissions

It was important to include certain admissions insights (acceptance rate, graduation rate), as well as what is needed for the application process.

Student Life

Student life is important to a lot of students, so we included a section that featured student body stats and demographics.

Online

For a lot of non-traditional learners, it is important to have online options at their chosen school. We included stats like the student location breakout and number of programs online.

Financial

Lastly, finances can be one of the biggest holdups to choosing a university. We aimed for full transparency, including average financial aid awarded and percentage of students receiving aid. We also calculated an estimated Return on Investment (ROI) based on average salary
