Terms of use
By using this site you agree to these terms. The most important one: everything here is educational information, not professional advice.
These terms govern your use of education.hakia.com (the “site”), operated by Hakia Education. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.
Informational purpose only
All content on this site, rankings, career guides, salary data, and analysis, is provided for general educational and informational purposes. It is not medical, legal, financial, career, or admissions advice, and it does not create any professional relationship. Decisions about your education and career are yours to make; confirm anything that matters with the school, the accreditor, and your state’s department of education before acting on it.
Accuracy and no warranty
We work hard to source every figure from public federal data and to keep it current, but we cannot guarantee that all information is complete, accurate, or up to date at every moment. Program tuition, admissions requirements, accreditation status, and salary figures change. The site is provided “as is,” without warranties of any kind, express or implied. Always verify details directly with the source before making a decision.
Rankings are our opinion
Our rankings reflect a composite score built from the factors described on our methodology page. They are one data-driven perspective, not a definitive judgment about which program is “best” for you. The right program depends on your goals, finances, location, and circumstances.
External links and affiliates
The site links to third-party websites, including program pages we may have an affiliate relationship with (see our advertising disclosure). We are not responsible for the content, accuracy, or practices of any third-party site. Following an external link is at your own discretion and subject to that site’s terms.
Intellectual property
The original content, design, rankings, and code on this site are owned by Hakia Education and its parent, and are protected by applicable law. You may share and link to our pages. You may not republish substantial portions of our content as your own without permission. Underlying government data (IPEDS, BLS) is public and belongs to its respective agencies.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Hakia Education is not liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of, or reliance on, the site or its content, including decisions made about education, enrollment, or careers.
Changes
We may update these terms as the site evolves. Continued use after changes means you accept the updated terms. The “last updated” date above reflects the current version.
