Just comparing the info on Forbes, the Average Starting Salary ranges, but very close for some.
Look at the enrollment numbers and Location, almost everyone of them are on the Eastern Coast
The Big 3 and APUS caught my eye for their Part-Time Student Enrollment numbers.
And I was looking at the MIT P/T student number list, for such an Ivy League school, only 36? Really?
