America's Top Online Colleges 2024 (Newsweek)
Quote:For the third consecutive year, Newsweek has collaborated with the respected global data firm Statista to unveil America's Top Online Colleges and America's Top Online Learning Providers 2024. These rankings are based on a survey of over 9,000 online learners, as well as our research about the institutions.
In our effort to find America's Top Online Colleges, we evaluated and ranked 200 colleges and universities that offer online undergraduate and graduate programs. The awarded institutions have been given either five stars, denoting an aggregate score surpassing the median of all recognized institutions, or four stars, signifying a score just below that threshold.
This is the first I heard of this. It is nice to see some non-traditional colleges (e.g. Ashworth College, Western Governors University) make the list. Excelsior made it in
2022 and
2023 and WGU all three years.

This list is a little weird. Hard to believe Michigan State and Bama are a dozen slots below a few community colleges. And Harvard Online offers only noncredit professional Ed certs. It shouldn't be on here at all if "we evaluated and ranked 200 colleges and universities that offer online undergraduate and graduate programs." Methinks the methodology in making this list needs more scrutiny.

It looks like those are offered through the
UCR Extension program which is also featured on
EdX.

There are always new lists and most lists are just that, it's someone else looking at rankings, some are skewed, some seem correct, and others are confusing... I would always read these rankings, ratings, and reviews with an open mind to look at the info, but do your research...
