Several accredited programs listed on the website have folded, there is at least one more (NIAOM) that was not listed, and i'm sure several more that couldn't handle accreditation and thus couldn't get financial aid, etc and compete with the schools that had the organization and capital to survive the process have also bit the dust... hard to tell how many, though. Anyway, i'm off to rest my eyes... good night... rh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
