Research Strategy
For this research, we have leveraged the most credible sources of information in the public domain, including each college/program's website, press releases, social media platforms, blogs, student handbooks, and program brochures. While we were able to garner most of the required information through these sources, no details about the fees of the various given programs could be found. To further search for the fees data for various programs, we looked through media articles from Forbes, WSJ, Businesswire, Live Mint, PR Newswire, etc., and various college information blogs like College Navigator, College Insight, College Board, StudyUSA, and The Choice, among others. However, even after a comprehensive search through these resources, we were unable to find any program-specific fees data. Only the general fee structure was available for the given colleges/institutions. Hence, we have marked the corresponding cells as 'N/A' in the spreadsheet. Also, in certain cases, details of the program coordinator or director were not available. In such cases, we have included the contact details of the admissions or a related department of the college (like Student Affairs). For determining the educational and general prerequisites for various colleges, we have leveraged their admission policies in general to extract the required information. Lastly, for the length of each program, we have updated the nearest available option from the drop-down menu. For example, all 2-year courses have been labeled as 'Under 2 years,' and all 1-year courses have been marked as 'Under 1 year'.
