The Best Online Colleges and Program Rankings

Online higher education is growing, and with the thousands of choices now available to students, it can be difficult to determine which schools are the best online colleges for experience and value. We've created a set of objective, quantitative rankings that should help shed some light on how the best online schools stack up against each other in 11 areas of study.

For each college, we gathered data for eight different metrics — the number of full-time faculty per part-time faculty member, institutional financial aid rate, acceptance rate, retention rate, graduation rate, years accredited, default rates, and job placement rates.
