Suggested schools

Once you've selected at least one filter, a section will load at the top of the page to indicate the top suggested and total number of schools. 

Additional filters can be applied:

Note: only schools that have partnered with Handshake will be populated.

Schools will be listed in the order with the most matching students based on all selected filters.

Your company's connection status with the school is shown to the far right of the school name.

  • Add to Favorites: you're connected with the school, but the school has not been added to your Favorites list. Click the gray button Add to Favorites to add the school to your Favorites list.
