School & College Search

College-Student.Net is a college search directory with several targeted sub-directories. You may search for schools and colleges by state or schools and colleges by major/career category on the left or by zipcode above.

For profiled schools and colleges you will not need to read tons of information during your search. Simply read school profiles and fill out a simple form for the schools of interest. The schools will contact you with more information and to answer your questions if you meet their requirements and the submitted form is complete and accurate. Tip - It is advisable to request information from several institutions during your search so you may compare colleges to make an informed decision. If you are outside the United States try searching the international colleges directory. Note that college-student.net takes pride in including career education colleges, universities, and schools that in addition to catering to recent high school graduates, also cater to people wanting to make a career change, working adults, and older non-traditional students.

Technical Schools, Trade Schools, & Vocational Schools
A significant number of high school graduates, adults, and career changers go to a technical school, trade school, or a vocational school instead of a more traditional college or university. As a result we included technical schools and vocational and trade schools in our college search directories. Note that trade schools are a great option for many people looking for specific career training.

Online Colleges
Online colleges, schools, and distance learning programs are a real solution for many students and working adults. Online schools have become a main stream way of taking classes and earning a college education or an advanced degree. A growing number of working adults want to go back and earn or upgrade their education (such as nurses looking for lpn to rn programs). Online schools are a great way to earn a degree or receive special training. Search the online schools directory to find an online program.



College Student Resources
In addition to searching for colleges, you will also find many resources for current and future college students. If you plan to go to a college that requires traditional college admission essays, we have several resources, tools, and examples listed. Many other resources are available as well such as places to find cheap college textbooks. Note that new college student resources are added on a regular basis.

Also, if you are searching for study guides you can find the major college related ones here. If you need very specific materials check these out risk free study guides.

Thinking about going to college but not sure yet? Some people may wonder Do I need a college degree to earn a good living? It really depends on your career interests. Not all modest and even some high paying careers require a college degree.
