CampusPin Q&A
How do I find colleges by major?
Short answerUse the program/major filter on /results to narrow CampusPin to schools that offer a specific major. For deeper context on a major and the schools that offer it by state, open /majors/{major-slug} or /programs/{major-slug}/in/{state-slug}.
CampusPin tags each school profile with the programs and majors that institution reports. From /results, choose a major from the program filter and the result list narrows to schools that offer it. You can stack the major filter with location, tuition, school type, or acceptance rate to land on a tight, useful list.
For a deeper look at a single major, /majors/{major-slug} pages (computer science, nursing, business, engineering, cybersecurity, and 20+ more) describe the major in plain English and link to the strongest CampusPin filters and lists for it. The /programs/{major-slug}/in/{state-slug} grid combines a major with a state for highly specific exploration — e.g., "computer science programs in Maryland."
How to do it
- Open /results and use the program filter to pick a major.
- Layer location, tuition, or school-type filters as needed.
- For a state-specific view, open /programs/{major}/in/{state}.
- For background on the major itself, open /majors/{major-slug}.
Verify with the institution. CampusPin supplements but does not replace official admissions, financial-aid, or registrar offices. Always confirm final details with the college directly before deciding.

How do I find colleges near me?
Open CampusPin’s search at /results, type your ZIP code or city into the location field, and the map and result list will update to show U.S. colleges in that area. You can then layer filters for tuition, major, school type, or acceptance rate to narrow further.
How do I find affordable colleges?
On /results, set the tuition filter to a manual maximum (CampusPin supports up to $100,000) and include public and community colleges. Always compare net price (what families actually pay after aid) rather than sticker price.
