Delivery

Hybrid programs are never counted as online.

Campus attendance

Class schedule (online)

Study intensity

Published duration

Conditional minimums (“as few as…”) do not count as the program length.

Portfolio, cost & deadlines

Portfolio policy

“Not required” only when the school says so; silence is “not published”.

Published tuition

Matches only programs that publish tuition on that basis. Per-credit, per-year and whole-program figures are never compared.

Verified scholarships or assistantships

Published on an official page. Loans do not count.

Deadline

Order

Clear all

Unknown never counts as a match: a program without verified tuition is not “under $X”, and an unverified attendance policy is not “no campus attendance”.
