SALT LAKE CITY –EdSoup.com, a patent-pending matching service for colleges and prospective students has quickly become a popular resource among working adults who want to go back to college and ultimately improve their career options. 

 

In fact, a full 70% of the students using EdSoup.com to research college options are working adults, according to company data.

 

“From day one, we had a very inclusive philosophy about EdSoup and hoped we could serve as many students as possible. We took a completely non-discriminatory approach and included colleges of all types in our database,” explained EdSoup founder and president, Chris Sower.

EdSoup includes all colleges free-of-charge, thereby providing students access to the largest database of post-secondary educational opportunities on the Internet.

 

“The fact that such a significant number of working adults are using our site is a reflection of how hard we have worked to provide all students with the widest array of educational options to choose from,” said Sower. 

 

“We’re thrilled that EdSoup has become such an accessible and helpful college search tool for the working adult population,” he concluded. 

 

In addition to the Web site, EdSoup has also recently launched a blog to help students explore the issues associated with going back to college. The blog can be found at http://www.edsoup.com/blog/.

 

Founded in 2005, EdSoup initially built CollegeDirectoryNetwork.com – the largest database of post-secondary educational opportunities online – which currently contains over 6,600 colleges, 10,300 campus locations, and 218,000 programs.  The EdSoup.com student matching service was launched in April 2007 to compliment CollegeDirectoryNetwork.com, by creating the largest database of students who are actively seeking post-secondary opportunities. It is unique in that every prospective student receives assistance from an experienced college search advisor. EdSoup’s message to students is simple – if you want to improve your life through education, we can help you get started. For more information visit www.edsoup.com.
