The College Counseling Office has many resources on hand to assist
the student during the selection and application process. The following
resources are recommended in particular:
Alphabetically arranged, they provide a quick glimpse at a college's
general program (i.e. student life, programs of study, photographs of
the campus, etc.).
Alphabetically arranged, catalogs provide a more in-depth look at courses
of study, admissions requirements, and tuition and fees.
These can be found in the School Library and the College Counseling
Office. Here are some of the catalogs and handbooks available:
| • Barron's/Peterson's College Guide Books |
• College Money Handbook |
| • Peterson's Competitive Colleges |
• Index of Majors |
