28th Edition
Barron's Educational Series, Inc. - All books by this author

Up-to-date facts and figures on enrollments, tuition and fees, academic programs, campus environment, available financial aid, and much more make the 28th edition of Profiles of American Colleges America�s most authoritative data source for college-bound high school students, their parents, and high school guidance counselors. More than 1,650 accredited four-year colleges are profiled�including literally every accredited four-year college in the United States. An interactive CD-ROM enclosed with the directory guides students to specific schools when they enter details describing their personal academic plans and aptitudes. In addition to the above-cited information, each college profile gives details on:

Admission requirements
Library and computer facilities
Admissions procedures for freshmen
Campus safety and security
Thumbnail descriptions of faculty
Requirements for a degree
Athletic facilities
Extracurricular activities
E-mail addresses
College fax numbers and web sites
Admissions Contacts
and much more

Schools are rated according to Barron�s well-known competitiveness scale, from �Noncompetitive� to �Most Competitive.� Unlike some other publications, Barron�s refrains from the unreliable practice of ranking colleges on a first-through-last basis. The book�s tinted pages section presents a quick-reference Index of College Majors that lists all available major study programs at each school. Also profiled are many excellent colleges in Canada and several other countries, as well as brief profiles of religious colleges, and American colleges based in foreign countries.

From the Reviews
Paise for the previous Edition:

�This well-researched and organized resource is affordable, balanced, clearly written, and easy-to-use. The coverage is more comprehensive and well organized by far than its competitor Peterson�s Four-Year Colleges � This essential guide would be invaluable to high school seniors, counselors, teachers, and anyone looking for up-to-date information including statistical data about colleges and universities, and belongs in every academic, high school, and public library.�
—Njoki W. Kinyatti, ARBAonline, American Reference Books Annual 2005, Volume 36

"Of all the college directories on the market today, this three-inch-thick book may be the largest—presenting 1/2-page write-ups of more than 1,650 schools...The book rates an A for its level of detail and the useful indices by majors offered, cost, and admissions standards. The book also comes with a CD-ROM to help students locate colleges which meet their criteria for location, size, majors offered, and average SAT or ACT scores of a recent class."
—College Spotlight, Janurary/February 2003

�More than 1600 accredited universities are logged in this fat book, which prides itself on giving readers �as much information as possible� and hardly disappoints.�
—Greg WinterEducation Life, 2003
