10 criteria were used to evaluate colleges for
Making A Difference Colleges.

peace colleges, colleges with a commitment to
service, unique state and work colleges, big
name colleges, a "contemplative"
Buddhist oriented college, and a college
on a school bus are profiled!
Want to design your own major, take interdisciplinary
classes, do most of your studies hands on or
in the field? These are the colleges for you.
Many
Making A Difference Colleges
care more about your values than your
SAT's. Profiles are 2 to 4 pages and include

on vegetarian meals, eco-dorms and if the college
has organic gardens.
All
the colleges have relevant majors leading to
meaningful work. Hundreds of career paths related
to environmental studies, urban
planning, international
development, peace studies, sociology,
child development... are listed.
