    Just curious, do you consider the online branch the same as the B&M branch of the school or as two totally different schools?

    For example:

    Touro University
    Touro University International

    Chapman University
    Chapman University College

    The schools seems to have a very seperate distinction (like two different websites, etc), but I am curious on others thoughts.

    Usually the same, but it depends on the case.

    Touro University International and Touro College are different schools. Ellis College is different from NYIT. Other than that, though, I think they're usually the same.

    Touro University International (TUI) has been described by Touro College and TUI as a branch campus of Touro College. Moreover, TUI is owned by Touro College. So you could refer to them as two different schools, but that would be the same as stating that Texas Tech University School of Law is a different school than Texas Tech University.

    Touro College is offering TUI for sale. That made it seem pretty separate to me.

    Rather than make this a TU/TUI thread, how about the other. Chapman University is a very prestiguous school, private, very expensive, ranked in many journals, and their faculty are very active with publishings.

    The Chapman University College is much like the UoP model. Mostly (if not all) part timers, low tuition, lots of satellite campuses, etc.

    Do you think it effects either school to have the same name? Do you think the school's see it this way? Why have the two with the same name with such varied models? Or does it give synergy for all types of students?

    I don't think so. Do you think it effects any of the schools for the University of Colorado to have the University of Colorado at Boulder, the University of Colorado at Denver, and the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs? (Or choose your own favorite multi-campus university.)

    Mergers and acquisitions happen in the nonprofit world as well.

    I am not sure which question you are referring when you say "I don't think so".

    I see a big difference between the different Unviersity of Colorado campuses, as they all basically have the same model, tuition, and accreditation standards. In the example I gave, the two campuses / schools vary dramaticaly in tuition, faculty standards, accreditation etc.

    "I don't think so" is in reply to your question, "Do you think it effects either school to have the same name?" Yes, there is a substantial difference between the three campuses of the University of Colorado, as Boulder is by far the largest campus and houses most of the school's doctoral programs while Denver and Colorado Springs are basically commuter campuses.
