MBA News Digest Comment: The College Scorecard may have more information, but it does not include anything about graduate programs. Should it?
Extracted Content: The U.S. Department of Education released updates to the College Scorecard on Monday that it says will make the tool more useful for students and families weighing college options. The tool also includes new and updated information that may be beneficial to school counselors, college access providers, researchers and other critical stakeholders. The department has improved the College Scorecard interactive web tool, in addition to restoring several metrics that help students gauge how their prospective institution compares to other colleges across costs, graduation rates, postcollege earnings and other metrics. “The changes reflect the department’s priority of supporting and encouraging inclusive, affordable postsecondary programs that provide strong career outcomes for students,” said a press release from the department.
