This ranking is based en.rely on headcount. Our sources for this data
include internal data, data we've received directly from schools, IPEDS,
and the SEC. We define "online headcount" as students who are
enrolled at least 80% online, and excludes students taking one or more
online courses as a part of an otherwise face-‐to-‐face experience.
If your school is on the list but think our numbers are wrong, or aren't
on the list and think you should be, please let us know at
