We've been waiting for quality online college statistics for a long time. Finally, several online colleges have formed a coalition dedicated to sharing program statistics with the general public. The Wired Campus explains:

"[The coalition] is expected to develop a Web site, which will open next year, to publish data from the coalition-called the Presidents' Forum-that show students' graduation rates, what training the institutions provide, and how successful graduates are in their careers, among other things."

Not every online college is a member of the group. However, a a good number of popular programs have signed-on, including American Public University System, Capella University, Charter Oak State College, Excelsior College, Fielding Graduate University, Franklin University, Kaplan University, Regis University, Rio Salado College, Southwestern College, Western Governors University, and Union Institute & University.
