U.S. News & World Report College Rankings finds ECPI University Online Bachelor’s Programs Among Top 10 Percent
Further Honored for Online Programs for Veterans
According to a recent report by Digital Learning Compass, there are now about 6,000,000 people nationwide who are enrolled in higher education distance courses. Moreover, 30% of all college students are taking at least one online course. As online learning continues to grow, the focus is now squarely on quality and outcomes. And that makes U.S. News & World Report’s annual rankings of America’s colleges and universities all the more relevant.
In a recently released report, U.S. News & World Report placed ECPI University among the nation’s best for online Bachelor degree programs. Data analysts for the publication ranked online learning programs based on performance within four categories:
- Student Engagement: Quality programs promote participation among online students and create ways for them to interact with faculty and fellow classmates, keeping them engaged and on track for graduation.
- Student Services and Technology: Faculty employ advanced teaching technologies and simulation software replicates the in-seat experience online. School provides students with highly-accessible financial, academic, and career service advisors.
- Faculty Credentials and Training: Faculty members are both highly credentialed and trained to accommodate the needs of distance learners.
- Peer Reputation: Feedback from high-ranking academic officials and employers provide insights not always captured by empirical data.
With approximately 1,000 colleges and universities currently offering online programs, the U.S. News & World Report ranking (94th) positions ECPI University among the nation’s best. What’s more, it ranked ECPI University’s online bachelor’s program tops for veterans as well (#54).
