College Source

College Source is a searchable image database of college catalogs, both graduate and undergraduate for United States two year and four year accredited colleges. It also covers many international schools. In all, 33,688 institutions of higher learning worldwide are covered. It is possible to search College Source by major, enrollment, degrees offered, affiliation, tuition, and state.

Search tips:

  • To search using more than one limit, select Criteria search under the advanced search feature. This will allow you to search by major, degree offered, state, tuition, and enrollment all in one search.

  • To search for international schools, select Country Search from the advanced search link. Lists of international schools are available with links to most college websites. Click on the PDF symbol when available to get a catalog. Catalogs are only available for English speaking institutions in most cases.

  • Use a catalog full-text search under the advanced search link to find information within specific catalogs, for example a faculty name. Use quotation marks around phrases for more exact searches.
