In its 10th year of collecting data regarding distance education degree programs, U.S. News assessed nearly 1,800 online degree-granting programs - an all-time high.
"Most of the undergraduate programs in the Best Online Programs rankings are degree completion programs, meaning the vast majority of their students already have some college credit," said Liana Loewus, managing editor of Education at U.S. News. "The methodologies are developed with those students in mind, setting these rankings apart from those that are focused on recent high school graduates pursuing higher education for the first time."
Schools were assessed based on four categories, including engagement between students and professors, services and technologies available to students, faculty credentials and training, and the opinion of high-ranking academic experts.
