Our goal was creating a service that would be expansive enough to assist individuals whether they are coming back to school, going to college for the first time or looking for ways to advance their career

The college matching service begins with an individual answering a few questions about their specific educational background and preferences. Upon detailing their ideal college experience, the Education Connection algorithms match their responses to the best fitting online universities. Questions explore important student concerns such as 24 hour technical support, the ability to transfer credit, financial aid options, and campus-based alternatives.

Desired degree programs and subjects of interest are other factors taken into consideration by the matching algorithms. Individuals seeking associate, bachelor, master, or doctorate degrees can be assured of finding an online school fitting their needs. Students can also narrow schools to the subjects they are interested in, such as business, criminal justice, information technology and healthcare management.
