Get In. Get Out. Get a Job. Some students are more interested in job-focused majors and flexible class schedules than fraternity life and dorm amenities; for example, they may want (or need) to work full-time while attending college. Unfortunately, most books prescribe the same college selection criteria for these students as they do for the liberal-arts bound. Until now. Author Michael Viollt outlines a new model based on issues important to job-focused students--placement services, opportunity costs, early skills development, retention to graduation, years to degree--and describes 201 great colleges that fit this new model.
