to earn their degrees.
“The high ranking from U.S. News & World Report illustrates

U.S. News Online Programs Methodology
Aiming to provide students and working adults with a resource to
select the distance-education programs that are right for them,
U.S. News & World Report looked at a number of factors when
determining the 2016 rankings, including student engagement,
faculty credentials and training, student services and technology,
and peer reputation. Schools were reviewed on how their programs
promote participation in courses and whether instructors create a
rewarding experience that drives students to stay enrolled and
complete their degrees in a reasonable amount of time. Other areas
evaluated include having instructors with strong academic
credentials, incorporating diverse learning technologies and
providing strong support outside of class such as career guidance
and learning assistance.
U.S. News & World Report selects factors, known as ranking
indicators, to assess each program and calculates the ranking using
data that each university reported to U.S. News & World Report
in a statistical survey. The value for each ranking indicator is
standardized about its mean, multiplied by weights U.S. News has
selected for the ranking indicators and summed up to compute the
four separate category scores. These scores are then rescaled so
that the top-scoring school receives a display score of 100 and the
bottom-scoring school receives a display score of zero.
