Limitations

  • The criteria measure how completely a program publishes checkable information. They do not measure teaching quality, outcomes or fit, and a program missing here may well be an excellent choice whose school publishes less.
  • The directory has not researched every institution. Absence from this page means "not verified to meet the criteria", not "does not meet them".
  • No scores, ratings, employment rates or salaries are used, and none are implied. Tuition is never ranked: bases, residency categories and years differ.
  • Missing information is treated as 'not met', never as a negative. A program missing here may meet the criteria but not publish the facts, or may not have been researched yet.

Sponsorship and selection are separate. Paying for a placement has no effect on whether a school or program appears here. Sponsored placements elsewhere on the site are labelled.
