Texas A & M University-Commerce Reviews | Online College of Business - Graduate | GetEducated.com While student and other reviews aren't the most reliable measures, they can prove useful, just like ratemyprofessors.com has value. The tuition data by itself is valuable in setting expectations for how much a degree program can cost.
No, there isn't. The affordability ranking is just an affordability ranking. The other things on the report card are not considered in the affordability ranking. Affordability is just one part of the overall grade. As you can see, the MBA ranking is only under the affordability category meaning that it is only about affordability.
Just in case what I said was confusing, I'll use another school as an example. Southeastern Oklahoma University was ranked #2 in affordability. It has no feedback on student satisfaction or perception yet, so its overall grade is an A. It managed to get an A without any student reviews.

Argosy University got a B- for MBA affordability on the MBA ranking, C+ for overall affordability when considering multiple programs, and a B for its overall grade after throwing in student satisfaction and public perception. Therefore, the overall grade on the report card is different from the affordability rankings of individual programs.
