| There are many tools for searching for universities on the internet. Below is a list of sites that will be useful for university searches.
Schools in the US
At the American School we use myroad.com to search for colleges and universities in the US . All high school students have an account or can obtain one from the counseling office.
Another very useful site is collegesofdistinction.com. This site is not a comprehensive search engine like myroad.com. It is instead a listing of colleges that are well recognized by educational professionals as providing an excellent undergraduate education, along with innovative teaching, a high quality residential environment, and wide recognition among graduate schools and employers. The schools are organized by region or state within the US.
U.S. News and World Report publishes an annual ranking of more than 1,400 U.S. universities. You can see the summary rankings for 2009 for free or can purchase the complete, electronic, searchable edition for $14.95.
Schools in Canada
The Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada website provides a comprehensive list of Canadian schools with detailed profiles and includes a search engine. Macleans magazine rates Canadian universities every year. The 2005 rating can be found here for free.
Schools in Mexico
Anuies, the Asociación Nacional de Universidades e Instituciones de Educación Superior, provides a state-by state listing of affiliated Mexican universities as well as a Catálogo de Carreras de Licenciatura y Postrado in Mexico. Universia.net provides a fairly comprehensive listing of universities in Mexico , but it is not searchable. Yahoo Mexico provides another extensive list.
International Listings by Country
One of the most comprehensive listings of colleges and universities throughout the world can be found at braintrack.com. Other options are the Yahoo Education Directory and the Google Education Directory.
Online Degrees
Although almost all of our students go on to a full-time college or university, there are also expanding options for study online. One comprehensive listing of online schools, primarily in the U.S. , can be found at onlinedegrees.com.
Opportunities for online education in Mexico are expanding as well. UNAM, the Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico, offers distance and online education at Licenciaturas SUA y ED. The Universidad de Guadalajara offers an expanding list of programs at the UdeG Virtual. Tec de Monterrey allows students to pursue continuing education in Spanish (diplomados, certificados, etc.)and maestrias through their Universidad Virtual.
