FLOSSMOOR, Ill., Sept. 22, 2009 — StateUniversity.com, the leading website for college information, announces new career advice, financial aid, and "most popular majors" resources for students. The Most Popular Majors feature, available at http://www.stateuniversity.com/programs, ranks schools according to their enrollment for nearly 2,000 academic majors.
The new career advice website, available for free online at http://Careers.StateUniversity.com, features resume advice, job hunting strategies, and interview tips for dozens of careers. Careers.StateUniversity.com also lists the job outlook, average salary, and educational requirements for more than 1,000 job titles.
Besides the usual salary information and employment outlook statistics, StateUniversity.com's career profiles provide a complete picture of each career's history, current technology trends, day-to-day work experience, educational requirements and much more. Those interested in a particular career can find related educational programs using StateUniversity.com's college/university search, and can even search for jobs using the website's job board.
The new StateUniversity.com financial aid & scholarships section, located at http://www.stateuniversity.com/financial-aid/, features financial aid tips and advice for all students. The website lists state-by-state financial aid requirements, and includes listings for hundreds of scholarship opportunities organized by major, school, and other qualifications. Whatever their situation or field of study, students are sure to find a number of new financial aid strategies and opportunities.
The new resources are timed to serve this year's juniors and seniors at the high school and college level, as they plan for college or career after graduation. Many financial aid experts recommend that high school students begin their financial aid search in the fall of their junior year. And college students are advised to look into internships or post-graduation employment as early as possible, since in-demand positions tend to fill up quickly. Knowing the requirements, deadlines, and other details can give students an advantage, whether they're competing for financial aid dollars or jobs.
Although many other companies charge a fee for accessing scholarship, salary, or job outlook data, all of the information and resources on StateUniversity.com can be accessed for free, with no registration or subscription required.
Dominik Mazur, founder of StateUniversity.com, said, "It's more important than ever for students and families to make sure every education dollar is well-spent. These new features are intended to help our users uncover new financial aid options, and understand the requirements and salary expectations for prospective careers."
