With college costs and student debt on the rise, the choices that American families make when searching for and selecting a college have never been more important. Yet, students struggle to find clear, reliable data on critical questions.
Critical Questions on College Affordability and Value
America needs colleges to focus on affordability and supporting all students who enroll. Many existing college rankings reward schools for spending more money and rejecting more students. College leaders and state policymakers who seek to improve institutions' performance often lack reliable ways to determine how well their schools are serving the students. That is why on September 12, 2015 President Obama announced new steps from the Department of Education to help students, parents, and their advisers make better college choices. These new steps include:

Strengthening partnerships with the higher education community by providing the best information and tools on college quality through:
New capabilities created with the open API, customized to serve a variety of students and counselors including:
Building on the Administration’s efforts hold higher education institutions to high standards for serving students well, including ongoing efforts to:
By making federal data on the performance of U.S. institutions widely available to the public, to policymakers, to researchers, and to the institutions themselves, the Administration hopes the increased transparency will further simulate robust innovation and discovery across the country, with the goal of supporting students as they pursue their academic and career goals through their college education.
