Who writes the guides?

The Search Degree Info team. We publish under a team byline rather than individual names.

Do you use AI?

Yes, as a tool. AI helps us research topics and produce first drafts. Every article is then checked against official and primary sources and edited before it goes live, and we take responsibility for what we publish.

Where do your facts come from?

We check our guides against the U.S. Department of Education, the Council for Higher Education Accreditation, the Federal Trade Commission, the National Student Clearinghouse Research Center and the College Board and American Council on Education for credit-by-exam and credit recommendations.

Have you tried the things you write about?

Not unless an article says so. Our guides are research-based, and we don’t present research as first-hand experience.

Does anyone pay for coverage?

No. We don’t take payment for articles, mentions or rankings. Our disclosure has the details.

How do you keep articles up to date?

We revisit guides when rules or figures change. For anything time-sensitive, check the official source too.

What if I find a mistake?

Email james [at] searchdegreeinfo [dot] com with the page address and the problem. We check every report and correct errors as soon as we’ve confirmed them.
