UCAN Network

The National Association of Indpendent Colleges and Universities (NAICU) has created a database that compares private colleges based on specific categories, like class sizes and graduation rates.

The site, at www.ucan-network.org, is free and does not require registration. It lists colleges alphabetically, by state or by affiliation.

U-CAN is the first national consumer information resource created and provided directly to students and parents by colleges and universities themselves. Over 600 private colleges and universities have signed on to participate in the initiative, with over 440 profiles published so far.
