• BestColleges.com partners with HigherEducation.com to provide students with direct connections to schools and programs suiting their educational goals. We also host a wide array of free college planning, financial aid, and career resources to help all students get the most from their education and prepare for the world after college.
• Fostering the next generation of students is no simple task. But it’s a commitment that always pays off. Preparing local students for the college education that is right for them can be an exhausting process, but an educated population can have a big, positive impact on an economy: Within three years of graduation, 1 out of 4 MBA graduates will start their own business.
• Unfortunately, in-county or even in-state options may not be viable for students, and it’s why we’ve created free guides to detail distance learning options and processes:
  • Guide to Online:
    • Associate Degrees – bestcolleges.com/features/online-associate-degree
    • Bachelor’s Degrees – bestcolleges.com/features/online-bachelors-degree
    • Master’s Degrees – bestcolleges.com/features/online-masters-degree
    • Doctorate Degrees – bestcolleges.com/features/online-doctorate-degree
    • Accredited Online Colleges – bestcolleges.com/features/top-online-schools

These guides become more important in light of the following survey results:

• Online students are getting younger: 44% of all online students fall into the “traditional” college age range
• A large portion of these young online college students are concurrently enrolled high school students or enroll directly out of high school
• Recent high school graduates are entering the workforce while also pursuing a college education online
• 73% of online students report job and employment goals as a reason for pursuing an online degree

We have a goal of extending the grasp of students and parents to attain a higher education. Sharing these resources with the families who need them is an easy way to do that.
