    The International Institute of the Americas, a division of AIBT Education Group (http://www.aibtedugroup.org/) has EXACTLY the same online classroom as Corinthian Colleges, Inc.'s FMU Online.

    Take a look at the links below. The only difference you'll see is the color.

    IIA

    FMU Online (Apparently, other CCI programs follow the same format.)

    AIBT and CCI are unrelated. Anybody know what gives?

    Nothing nefarious. They both use eCollege.com for their online classrooms. I think it's more common to outsource such things (a la Blackboard, WebCT, etc) than to do it in-house.

    That makes perfect sense. Thanks Tom.

    I suppose the one thing that is different is that IIA is much cheaper than it's (almost) identical NA opposition FMU.

    Moderately off-topic, but does anyone know why eCollege took their degree and course searches off their website? I thought it was a pretty useful tool - it's how I found the program I ended up attending.
