Looks like the Big 3 are getting better press. They are 100% unique. All the "Johnny Come Lately" types are still not better than the 1971 concept!

I don't take most of these rankings seriously. Harvard Extension is way too expensive, and they require that some of the courses be taken on campus making them even more expensive. I could be wrong, but they don't seem to offer much, if any, non-loan aid to their extension students like they do with their other students. Also, you have to pass the first few courses before being admitted. That means you have to pay for the first two or three courses out of pocket because you won't qualify for financial aid.
