Today, students, parents, and counselors can use the Internet to find information about almost any college-related topic imaginable. Unfortunately, quantity doesn’t always mean quality. Many "college Web sites" are merely advertisements for fee-based services or offer information that is outdated or too vague to be of real use. To provide students, parents, and counselors with the most useful college resources on the Web,College & Career Press has published College Exploration on the Internet: A Student and Counselor’s Guide to More Than 500 Web Sites.
The editors of College & Career Press evaluated more than 2,000 Web sites and picked the "best of the best" to create College Exploration on the Internet.
College Exploration on the Internet will help students, parents, and counselors save time and money as they seek out information on college admissions, campus visits, choosing a major, four-year colleges, community colleges, financial aid (including scholarships, grants, loans, and work-study programs), religious colleges, opportunities for disabled students, special programs for minorities, other postsecondary options such as apprenticeships and military training, and many other topics relating to the college experience.
