Using the Matching Assistant

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