- Major Focus - How much a school focuses on adult and continuing education students vs. other majors.
- Major Demand - How many other adult and continuing education students want to attend this school to pursue a doctor's degree.
- Educational Resources - How many resources are allocated to students. These resources may include educational expenditures per student, number of students per instructor, and graduation rate among other things.
- Accreditation - Whether a school is regionally accredited and/or accredited by a recognized adult and continuing education related body.
