A survey commissioned by Marketplace and The Chronicle of Higher Education reveals that what really stands out for employers in the resumes of recent college graduates is internship experience. But are colleges doing a good job preparing grads for work?

Last night, the city of Philadelphia approved efforts to close 23 public schools, about 10 percent of the city’s total, because they are underused and the city says they costs too much to keep up. The closures are part of a national trend brought on by more kids going to private and charter schools and public budget cuts.

More parents are turning to college financial planners for advice on how to pay for college.

More than half of employers say they have trouble finding qualified candidates for job openings, according to a survey commissioned by Marketplace and the Chronicle of Higher Education.
