College Insight

College InSight is a unique resource for anyone interested in college affordability, student debt, economic and racial diversity, student success, and other characteristics of U.S. undergraduate students and the colleges they attend. The site provides easy-to-use college profiles as well as detailed, research-level data for nearly 12,000 U.S. colleges and universities. It includes nearly 200 variables for most academic years since 2000-01, drawn from multiple data sources. In addition to college-level data, College InSight features totals and averages for states, sectors, and other groupings of colleges. Those aggregate figures are calculated from college-level data (see the Limitations page for more details). You can use College InSight to compare colleges in a variety of ways and shed light on important issues at such as: Affordability: the cost of attendance and how students meet that cost through federal, state, and institutional grant aid, as well as student loans. Diversity: data on the racial and ethnic diversity of both students and faculty, as well as indicators of student economic diversity, such as the percentage of undergraduates who received federal Pell Grants and the income distribution of students who applied for aid. Student success: graduation rates and the number of degrees and certificates awarded.
