USA TODAY — As more Americans debate the value of college and decide whether to take on student loan debt, new national data aims to help prospective students decide whether a school will help them earn a competitive salary, if they’ll find other students and professors who look like them, and whether they’ll have to borrow money to attend. The Education Department unveiled changes Tuesday to its College Scorecard, shared first with USA TODAY, that include data on what graduates make four years after completing their degrees, faculty-to-student racial and ethnic background ratios and student debt trends.
