It appears that they're listing the entire student body at the colleges and universities and not the number of online students. Some of these schools don't have many online students. Some of these schools hardly have online programs. The online programs that they listed for University of Texas at Austin are not at UT-Austin. They're at different schools in the UT System. So, they have the student body count for UT Austin only and a list of programs that are not at UT Austin. If they were looking at the entire UT System, that would be another thing, and the student body count would be around 240,000. I'm just going to assume that there are other flaws with this list because there usually are.

That's disappointing. I wish someone would put out a list that wasn't just click bait. Or at the very least, you know, had accurate data...
