{{About|improving articles about higher education|using Wikipedia in education|Wikipedia:Student assignments}}
'''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject|WikiProject]] [[Higher education]]''' aims to improve the coverage of [[universities]] and [[college]]s on [[Wikipedia]]. Please feel free to join our project by adding your name at the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Higher education/Participants|List of participants]] and including this page on your watchlist.

==About the project==
===Goals===
* Standardize the structure and content of all college and university articles
* Ensure colleges' and universities' articles comply with Wikipedia's [[WP:5|five pillars]]
* Improve the coverage of higher education, propelling articles to [[WP:FA|featured status]]
* Serve as the central hub for all discussions and information related to higher education coverage
* Add [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Missing encyclopedic articles/Colleges and Universities|missing]] and [[Wikipedia:Requested articles/Applied arts and sciences/Education|requested]] higher education articles

===Task forces and sub-projects===
Task forces are meant to provide centralized information and a discussion area for topics that have a sufficiently large scope, but that would not benefit from having a separate WikiProject with all of the additional work that would involve. This WikiProject formerly had the '''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Higher education/Student Affairs|Student Affairs task force]]''', but it is now inactive.

Geographic areas, athletic conferences, or individual institutions with multiple pages and the interest of several active Wikipedians may become the subject of a sub-project. Propose the new project on the WikiProject Higher education talk page or at the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Proposals|WikiProject Council]] to make sure there is enough interest before starting a new project. See the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Higher education#Related WikiProjects|related projects section]] for examples.

==Templates==
{{selfref|See also: [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Higher education/Templates|List of templates]]}}

===Project banner===
To add an article to this project, place the {{tlx|WikiProject Higher education|class{{=}}}} template on an article's ''talk'' page. It will display like this:

{{WikiProject Higher education|category=no|class=Project}}

===Infobox University===
* {{tlx|Infobox university}}

====Example====
{{#section-h:Template:Infobox university/doc|Example}}

=== College Navigator external link ===
For United States institutions, the Department of Education presents data at its College Navigator. You can link to a college's page by finding its IPEDS ID at nces.ed.gov/collegenavigator (not the OPE ID) and using the following template.

{{tlx|College-navigator|<id>}}

For example, Valparaiso University's ID is 152600. Therefore, this template produces

{{College-navigator|152600|Valparaiso University}}

You can use an optional second parameter to specify a name other than the title of the Wikipedia page that calls the template.

{{tlx|College-navigator|152600|Valparaiso University (Indiana)}}

produces:

{{College-navigator|152600|Valparaiso University (Indiana)}}
