Step 2: Choose Colleges

You will need to save at least two colleges to your Career Cruising portfolio, but you can add as many as you want!  Write a comment for each school so you remember why you liked it.

Search for schools:

  • Log on to Career Cruising.  (username: goodrich, password: olympians)  Log into your portfolio.
  • Go to the page for the job you researched.  (It should be saved under the Careers that Interest Me button to the left.  If it’s not, use the Career tab at the top of the page to search for your job.)
  • Click on the Education button. (on the left side)
  • Click on the link under Related College and University Programs. (about half way down the page)
  • Be sure to check out colleges close to home AND in different regions of the country.
  • You may also search for schools by using the Schools tab.
  • Don’t forget to look at the college’s own web page–check out the link for prospective students.

When you find a college you like, click the “Save to My Portfolio” button and add a comment.  You must save at least two colleges…but you can save as many as you want.
