Excellent College Search Handbook

My son is considering attending a two year college initially and then possibly transferring to a traditional four year college. His hope is that going to a four year college will allow him to earn credits while figuring out a particular program of study, all while saving money. I really like how the information in this book is clear and easy to understand. The colleges are listed by state and there is a chart in the very beginning of the book that highlights everything from the type of degree a student can earn to the number of majors offered by an institution. This chart has made for an easy comparison of two year colleges in the area and has provided a wealth of information to me and my son. It's a great book for anyone considering the non traditional route to college.
