A new Google tool aims to bring 'in-depth analysis' to the college search. (via CNBCMakeIt)
that 26% of community college students earn an associate's or bachelor's degree after six years. The Department of Education estimates that roughly 60% of college students at four-year schools graduate within this time. Graduation rates are even lower atSitaram Iyer, an engineer at Google, hopes that the new search feature can help students find high-quality two-year programs. He and his team started developing the feature by consulting with education researchers..
Google's research found that students of two-year programs typically search, apply and attend schools primarily based on geography, and may be missing better options. "The college-seeking journey for students as they look into two-year colleges is substantially different from how they think about four-year colleges," Iyer says. "Most students go locally for college, but they haven't done an in-depth analysis into what's out there.
from the Department of Education's College Scorecard and Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System, Iyer and his team hope to help students make smart decisions about where they choose to pursue a degree — including at two-year schools. "My belief is that there's much more to be gained from students better understanding what's out there," says Iyer.
