Locating Quality Undergraduate Colleges for Counselors, Parents, and Students. Over 950 Entry Changes in the New PDF ONLY FORMAT, with bookmarks for every major and throughout the entire book.

Rugg's new 35th edition lists 21,000 quality departments at over 1,170 quality colleges. In short, we thinned out the college departments to a top 16%. From the first piece of research garnered from a student on a college campus in 1978, to questioning hundreds of counselors this spring, Rugg's college guide is now proudly in its 39th year in over 80% of America's high schools and libraries. The guidebook has been designated nationally as a "revered staple, the book parents and students must start with" in the search for a college to attend. The 35th edition is the accumulation of over 40 years of work in the undergraduate admissions process, and, as always, Rugg is independent of the colleges. There are over 950 entry changes since the 34th edition, over 140 majors have been revised and changed, 232 recommended departments per major. Wholesale changes have been made on 37 departmental pages. Two new majors have been added: Computer Systems Analyst, and Cybersecurity.

"Fred Rugg and his people have researched the college departments for nearly 50 years, culminating in the 35th Edition. The 35th Edition of college lists will serve you well today and beyond. I wish Mr. Rugg had put his book on my desktop computer years ago. This new PDF for all his products is great, and so easy to use and the addition of bookmarks for all the majors and the entire book saves even more time. I turn my monitor toward me and get a lot of lists and a lot of answers. I have his college lists right on my screen as I talk to parents and students. And for them I can copy so easily the major pages they (we) want and I do not have to leave my chair. My five year old copy still works great, as the pandemic is slowing departmental changes. The 35th edition of Rugg's is a practical masterpiece. Thank you for your hard work and vision." - Vernon Vargas, Long-time College Counselor, Moreau Catholic High School, Hayward, CA
