  1. 2026-05-01

    Release

    College majors guide and programmatic state grid launch

    Added /majors and /majors/[slug] hubs covering 25+ U.S. college majors with course breakdowns, careers, and salary ranges. Launched the /programs/[program]/in/[state] grid (~1,275 indexable pages) so students can find any major × state combination directly.

  2. 2026-05-01

    Release

    College search glossary launched

    Added /glossary with 30+ definitional terms (acceptance rate, net price, FAFSA, IPEDS, holistic review, and more). Each term ships with DefinedTerm schema and a Speakable specification so voice and AI assistants can read the canonical definition aloud.

  3. 2026-05-01

    Release

    Free college calculator suite

    Added /tools/gpa-calculator, /tools/sat-to-act-converter, and /tools/net-price-estimator. Browser-only, no sign-in. Each tool ships with SoftwareApplication schema.

  4. 2026-05-01

    Release

    International students hub

    Added /international-students with F-1 / J-1 / M-1 visa basics, SEVP, English requirements, OPT and STEM-OPT, and a 6-question FAQ.

  5. 2026-04-30

    Release

    Search ranking: 4-year university tilt for tied program matches

    Program searches like "Cybersecurity" and "Information Technology" now rank 4-year universities ahead of community colleges when scores tie on parent CIP family. Verified live: Cybersecurity surfaces Abilene Christian University; Information Technology surfaces Abraham Baldwin Agricultural; Nursing surfaces Arizona College of Nursing.

  6. 2026-04-29

    Fix

    Search punctuation and alias normalization

    "St Johns" (no apostrophe), "Saint Johns", and "St. John's" now all return the Saint John's school family. Saint↔St alias expansion plus per-letter optional-punctuation interleaving in the regex.

  7. 2026-04-29

    Fix

    School-card thumbnail fallback

    Branded gradient now renders as the base layer of every card; the campus photo overlays only after a successful prefetch. Card listings no longer show broken-image placeholders even when the upstream screenshot service is rate-limiting.

  8. 2026-04-29

    Fix

    /help → /help-center 308 redirect

    Legacy /help URL now permanently redirects to /help-center.
