This tool will help clear some of the confusion, and help you decide not only what type of student you are, but how you can get on the right path towards your educational goal.
This service will explain the various options you have available to you to become a student and get you connected with the institution that matches your goals, tips on how to be a successful student, and help explain how you can pay for your education.
Before we begin, we want to be absolutely clear that this tool should not be used as a replacement for a professional academic counselor. Once you decide what school you want to attend, it is imperative that you meet with academic counselors at that school to ensure that you are taking the right classes that are appropriate for your program. We also recommend that you meet with an academic counselor at least once a semester to keep on top of any program changes that might occur during your studies.
