About the project

Goals

Standardize the structure and content of all college and university articles
Ensure colleges' and universities' articles comply with Wikipedia's five pillars
Improve the coverage of higher education, propelling articles to featured status
Serve as the central hub for all discussions and information related to higher education coverage
Add missing and requested higher education articles

Task forces and sub-projects

Task forces are meant to provide centralized information and a discussion area for topics that have a sufficiently large scope, but that would not benefit from having a separate WikiProject with all of the additional work that would involve. This WikiProject formerly had the Student Affairs task force, but it is now inactive.

Geographic areas, athletic conferences, or individual institutions with multiple pages and the interest of several active Wikipedians may become the subject of a sub-project. Propose the new project on the WikiProject Higher education talk page or at the WikiProject Council to make sure there is enough interest before starting a new project. See the related projects section for examples.

College Navigator external link

For United States institutions, the Department of Education presents data at its College Navigator. You can link to a college's page by finding its IPEDS ID at nces.ed.gov/collegenavigator (not the OPE ID) and using the following template.

{{College-navigator|<id>}}

For example, Valparaiso University's ID is 152600. Therefore, this template produces

Valparaiso University at College Navigator, a tool from the National Center for Education Statistics

You can use an optional second parameter to specify a name other than the title of the Wikipedia page that calls the template.

{{College-navigator|152600|Valparaiso University (Indiana)}}

produces:

Valparaiso University (Indiana) at College Navigator, a tool from the National Center for Education Statistics
