Using the Campus Matching Assistant

The Matching Assistant will help you choose which campuses best meet your specifications. There are a number of different parameters you can choose from. Once you have selected the options that best meet your requirements you may view a list of all the campuses that match your requirements. Because graduate students and undergraduate students have different requirements there are two different Matching Assistants.
