# Hakia

> Hakia is a semantic search engine for U.S. tech degree programs. Describe what you want in plain language and Hakia matches real programs by meaning, ranked on cost, salary, and graduation outcomes from federal data (IPEDS, BLS, College Scorecard). Not affiliated with any school; rankings are produced algorithmically.

Hakia indexes 154,000+ accredited programs and publishes data-driven rankings, state guides, career guides, and comparisons across technology fields. The Hakia Score is a transparent composite of completions, graduation rate, selectivity, and field earnings, normalized within each field and degree level.
