Story
For the third straight year Boise State has been listed in Great Colleges for the Real World – a guide for prospective students.
The publication’s third edition features more than 200 colleges that “attempt to deliver what students want” and that “feature programs that offer a tangible return on investment in the form of a job or career path.”
Among the factors author Michael Viollt used to evaluate colleges were the population of surrounding cities, job placement, non-traditional student programs and diversity of student body.
“Today’s student is more likely to be a financially independent working adult balancing college with family, social activities, work and other responsibilities,” Viollt wrote.
“They are a different type of student with different goals than past generations, which has led to a need to rethink the criteria used for selecting a college.”
The book is available for $11 from Octameron Associates, www.octameron.com.
