Another resource was http://www.collegefactual.com/colleges You have to register after viewing 5 pages but it was free.
Here’s an example of info you can get. I picked Denison Univ, because it has come up a few times (I have no connection there). Let’s say your kid was interested in performing arts and you wanted to research the Denison dept. You can go here:
http://www.collegefactual.com/colleges/denison-university/academic-life/academic-majors/visual-and-performing-arts/
and see what degrees they awarded (in 2013-2014) in that area.
