Advertising Disclosure

Most pages on this site carry sponsored school listings. This page explains what they are, how to tell them apart from the ranking, and where their links take you.

What The Sponsored Listings Are

The listings are ads for online programs, served by Esyoh (esyoh.com), an advertising network for schools. Schools pay Esyoh to appear in them, and this site is paid for carrying them. Which schools appear, and what each listing says about a school or a program, come from Esyoh and the school that placed it, not from this site. The schools shown can change with your location and from one visit to the next.

How To Recognize Them

• A block of sponsored listings has its own heading, an Ad label, and a line saying the listings are sponsored, with a link to this page.
• A sponsored mention inside an article's text starts with an Ad tag, which also links here.
• On large screens, a sponsored column labeled Ad sits under the “On This Page” list.
• After you scroll, a ZIP code search for programs can appear at the bottom of the screen. It is labeled Ad, and its close button keeps it closed for the rest of your visit.

Ranked programs never carry those labels. They appear in numbered cards and tables with a rank and a score.

What They Do Not Change

A sponsored listing is not scored or ranked, and no school can pay to be added to the ranking, to change its score or to move its position. The ranking is computed from the tuition each school reports to AACSB and from College Scorecard earnings, as set out on the methodology page, and the code that computes it reads nothing from the ad network. A school can appear both in the ranking and in a sponsored listing; one has no bearing on the other.

Where The Links Go

Every link in a sponsored listing, and the ZIP search, goes to Esyoh's site and opens in a new tab. Anything you enter there goes to Esyoh and the schools under their own terms and privacy policies, not ours. These links are marked as sponsored for search engines.

What The Ad Network Receives

To show the listings, Esyoh's script loads from esyoh.com and receives some information about your visit, such as the page you are on. Our privacy policy describes exactly what, and how to block it.

Pages Without Advertising

The pages that explain how the ranking is built and the site's policies carry no advertising and load nothing from the ad network: About, Methodology, Privacy and Terms, and this page.
