Cut through the noise and make better college and career choices
This book is about addressing the college-choosing problem. The
rankings, metrics, analytics, college visits, and advice that we
use today to help us make these decisions are out of step with the
progress individual students are trying to make. They don't give
students and families the information and context they need to make
such a high-stakes decision about whether and where to get an
education. Choosing College strips away the noise to help you
understand why you're going to school. What's driving you? What are
you trying to accomplish? Once you know why, the book will help you
make better choices. The research in this book illustrates that
choosing a school is complicated. By constructing more than 200
mini-documentaries of how students chose different postsecondary
educational experiences, the authors explore the motivations for
how and why people make the decisions that they do at a much
deeper, causal level. By the end, you'll know why you're going and
what you're really chasing. The book: Identifies the five different
Jobs for which students hire postsecondary education Allows you to
see your true options for what's next Offers guidance for how to
successfully choose your pathway Illuminates how colleges and
entrepreneurs can build better experiences for each Job The authors
help readers understand not what job students want out of college,
but what "Job" students are hiring college to do for them.

This important volume takes stock of the debate, neither demonising
nor celebrating the for-profit sector, to understand what it takes
for for-profits to promote quality and cost effectiveness at scale.
Contributors address how policymakers and other education
stakeholders can create an environment where the power of
for-profit innovation and investment is leveraged to better serve
students. The role that private enterprise can and should play in
American education needs to be brought to the forefront of reform
discussions. Editors Hess and Horn move beyond heated rhetoric to
offer a thoughtful and probing analysis that will enable
stakeholders to craft a viable future for public education.
