Please note that we report what we believe to be true as of the date we entered the information, but we are not responsible for errors and oversights. We do not have perfect information on every school and program listed. We know that schools and programs listed here belong in categories we have not assigned and/or should have been tagged where we have not simply because we did not know about the applicable trait. Please let us know if you see such oversights.
Reader is responsible for verifying all information before acting on it. In case of serous doubt we prefer to err on the side of not listing a characteristic of a program. Remember that conditions in programs change.
