Sneak Peek for Students and Parents (2026)
We're putting the finishing touches on the next edition of College Kickstart for Students and Parents and thought we'd give you a sneak peek. In addition to expanded school and departmental coverage, we've added new tags to help identify schools with strong animal science and veterinary programs and schools with highly inclusive LGBTQ+ policies. We've also made enhancements to our application to comply with WCAG 2.1 accessibility guidelines for a more user-friendly experience.
What's New for Students and Parents in 2026
Expanded School and Department Coverage
Our coverage universe now includes 790+ U.S. four-year institutions as we continue to enhance regional and HBCU coverage based on customer feedback. For Plus and Premium subscribers, we also cover admission profiles for 600+ departments across 80+ popular institutions. We also now provide residency based data for over 33 popular institutions.
New Tags
We've added new tags to identify schools with strong animal science programs or veterinary schools, and to identify schools with highly inclusive LGBTQ+ policies based on the Campus Pride Index. We've also updated our existing business tag based on new data.
Accessibility Enhancements for 2026
The 2026 edition of College Kickstart is now compliant with Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1. We've made a series of improvements to our application to ensure a more inclusive experience.
