The organization has a unique metric called “Peer-Based Value” or PBV that it uses to compare schools. First, universities are scored based on cost, accreditation, percentage of students receiving financial aid and student-to-instructor ratio. The total number of online programs a school offers is also considered.
The PBV allows reviewers to compares a program’s tuition to that of other schools with similar qualitative scores. They also compare the qualitative scores for programs that have similar costs. This approach allows students to weigh which schools are best in overall value.
