CollegeHippo is the go-to destination for everything you need to know about graduate and postgraduate education. On CollegeHippo, you can search for graduate programs, doctoral programs, graduate certificates and online master’s programs. Our site presents information about higher education in an organized, clear manner, making it easy for you to compare programs and find your perfect school.

How CollegeHippo Works

To understand why CollegeHippo is unique, you need to understand a little about our process. Essentially, our team mines through unstructured data using Natural Language Processing(NLP) and Machine Learning(ML) to eventually create user-friendly posts and pages. Here is a more detailed breakdown of what we do:

  • Extract: First, we aggregate large pools of data from college and university websites.
  • Inspect: Once we have the data, we sift through it to remove errors and inconsistencies.
  • Clean: After ensuring that our data is correct, we clean it eliminate redundancies and create user-friendly content.
  • Feed: These final results are fed into a special algorithm that optimizes the content for publication on our website.

This process takes a lot of time and effort, but the results are clearly worthwhile. CollegeHippo has already helped hundreds of students select universities for their graduate studies, and we look forward to helping many more in the future! Now take a look at our features to see how we can help you in your hunt for the perfect school.

Search for Graduate Programs

On CollegeHippo, you can easily search for graduate programs and the universities that offer them. With our search engine, you can find graduate programs, PhD programs, online master’s degree programs, and graduate certificate programs. We provide far more than the university name and national rank that you find with a standard graduate search engine. Our data provides specific details about what individual graduate programs offer to their students in terms of curriculum, faculty, and school mission. CollegeHippo is a one-stop location for all the information you need about different programs, schools, and opportunities for students.

Answering your questions

Searching for your next academic journey is important, and you might have some questions. In the CollegeHippo blog, you can pose questions about graduate and doctoral programs to our team of experts. Within 24 hours, one of our team members will promptly answer your questions with information from our data pool and links to CollegeHippo pages that relate to your question.

Find Graduate programs based on GRE Score

CollegeHippo is the only website that allows you to find college courses and graduate programs based on your GRE score.

After you create an account, we ask you to submit your GRE score and desired field of study. In return, we create a customized list of relevant universities based on your information. We also divide these schools into three categories — Tough, Medium, and Easy — based on their admission requirements. This gives you an idea of what to expect in your application process, and how your GRE score measures up to other students in your field.

Admission Details

As you probably know, graduate school admission requirements vary between colleges. On CollegeHippo, you can find minimum GRE score requirements, GPA requirements, and any other application requirements for different colleges. Additionally, CollegeHippo contains a database of universities that do not have a GRE/GMAT requirement. Some universities do not require students to take these exams, and other schools require the GRE but do not advertise a minimum score. On CollegeHippo, you can view a full list of these schools, and plan for whether or not you want to take the GRE.

What is career path after graduating?

One of the unique features is our ability to link college data with LinkedIn. On the college landing page, you can see where the alumni of this school are. Below you can see their career paths after graduation.

Personalized recommendations

If you subscribe to the CollegeHippo email list, we will send you a personalized list of colleges every week. We choose and compile these schools based on your preferences of program, cost, and location. We know how challenging it is to search through different schools and programs to find a perfect fit, and our weekly email is specifically designed to help narrow your search and get you closer to your degree.

Up and Coming Features

In the near future, CollegeHippo will launch two new features related to scholarships and college comparison:

CollegeHippo is collecting scholarship data from over 800 universities around the country. Within the next few months, we will launch a scholarship search engine that allows you to look for program-specific and university-specific scholarships. With this tool, you will be able to plan for the cost of grad school and strategize ways to make your education as affordable as possible.

CollegeHippo is also creating a graduate program comparison engine. With this tool, you will be able to compare graduate programs, course details, admission requirements, tuition, scholarships, and financial aid. You can already use CollegeHippo to compare schools, but this new, specialized feature will present the information in a clear table and offer details at a granular level. The CollegeHippo comparison engine will be a fine-tuned tool, well-equipped to help you make one of the most important decisions of your career.

Well, that’s about it! We look forward to seeing you on CollegeHippo.com, and we can’t wait to help you in your search for the perfect school.
