One of the most comprehensive guides to higher education in the United States is provided by the US Department of State and Peterson’s, a Nelnet Company. While the guide is intended for the use of foreign students who may wish to complete their education in the US the information will be useful to anyone who is researching American institutions of higher learning.
The data base covers the following areas:
