WASHINGTON, Sept. 12 (UPI) -- President Barack Obama on Saturday announced a new college information website aimed at giving students a deeper look at the value and risks associated with getting a university degree.
The new College Scorecard site, which replaces an older one with the same name, features information about colleges not previously available on the predecessor site or other federal sources. Most notably, it presents the average earnings from graduates at individual schools based on Internal Revenue Service data. It spells out how students fare a decade after graduation and how they compare to those who entered the workforce with just a high-school diploma.
