There are a number of computerized search programs and web sites available to help you generate a list of university campuses to consider. They contain a "matching assistant" that first asks you what your preferences are among some criteria and then provides a list of schools that match your preferences. You can then research the schools to assist with your college search.
MJC has a licensing agreement with Eureka a software program that you can access by visiting the Career Development & Transfer Center. Eureka has a component that allows you to research colleges, majors, occupations and scholarships.

1. Does the school have the academic program you are interested in pursuing?
2. The size of the college & student population.
