Why we publish this data
Federal law requires colleges and universities to disclose information about costs, financial aid, enrollment, and student outcomes, and to report institutional data to the U.S. Department of Education each year. Sterling meets those requirements here and goes further: everything on this site is interactive, accessible, and downloadable.
