Description:
Higher Education Analytics (HEA), through its website, (URL removed), will provide college students and their parents with a comparative report that shows the value added of the education provided by the colleges and universities in which the customers are interested.
A value-added measure shows the enhancement that students receive as a result of their educational experiences, in this case college education. A student will spend time and money in school. At graduation, will the student have gained more knowledge and skills than he or she had as a first year student? Will the graduate be able to get a job and one with a better salary than he or she could have had by attending the school he or she did rather than another?
The exclusive formula used by HEA will provide college consumers with measures of Learning, Employment, and Debt. College consumers will be able to quickly tell from the scores provided if some of the schools that interest them provide more value for the investment of time and tuition than others, and make decisions accordingly.
