1 Count based on students using Veterans Affairs Department and Defense Department benefits.
2 Military students not charged above TA cap, but non-military may be.
3 Unduplicated, 12-month headcount for 2013-14, instead of fall 2013 enrollment.
4 Estimated enrollment from Education.
5 The survey response from Clayton State University, which is No. 9 on our list of online and nontraditional schools list, indicated that more than half of its classes are online only, and it was so designated. The school later told us that fewer than half of its classes are online, which would have placed it on this list.
6 The survey response from Georgia Perimeter College, which is No. 58 on our 4-year schools list, indicated that the college offered bachelor’s degrees, so it was categorized as a 4-year school. The school later told us it does not offer 4-year degrees, which would have placed it as a 2-year school.
