College Categories
As you plan for college you have many options. Listed below
are the College Categories that describe the different types of
institutions available to you.
Non-Profit
Private
These Colleges and Universities:
- receive funding primarily from student tuition and endowments. Some funding comes from governmental support in the form of tax breaks and student loans
- follow the leadership of a board of trustees
- develop own institutional plans since they operate mostly on private support
- rely on private funds, which leads to a higher average cost
- offer financial aid opportunities to reduce the total cost
Public
These Colleges and Universities:
- receive a large part of funding from state or local taxes. Some funding comes from tuition and endowments
- follow performance standards set by the state
- Most are state-run which lowers the tuition for in-state students
- typically categorized as two-year, four-year, research, comprehensive, or community
colleges
For-Profit/Proprietary
These Colleges and Universities:
- receive up to 90 percent of their revenue from federal student aid
- operate under the demands of investors and stockholders
- usually offer a non-traditional format
- have come under federal scrutiny for high pressure sales/recruitment tactics
Student Notes
A close examination of the academic, social and financial
factors will lead you to a best-fit college. To learn more
