Is there a one-stop shop for information about higher education in California?

CaliforniaColleges.edu is a comprehensive website aimed at students, counselors, and parents that helps guide and support the college planning and preparation process. The site’s content and functionalities allow users to:

• Explore accredited colleges and universities
• Determine which schools and majors best match a student’s career aspirations
• Develop personalized student plans of study, prepare for tests, and track college planning and A-G completion
• Find professional development resources
• Learn more about financial aid and how to pay for college
• Access information about college admission requirements and apply online

Supported in part by College Futures Foundation, the California College Guidance Initiative (CCGI) partners with K-12 school districts to support students, counselors, parents, and community-based organizations with technological tools—including the CaliforniaColleges.edu site—that help guide the college planning and preparation process. This online resource has been developed in collaboration with the California State University, University of California, California Community Colleges, Association of Independent California Colleges and Universities, and the California Department of Education.
