“Online degrees are becoming more and more popular, but only the best universities have what it takes to provide a consistent experience for their students,” said Tyson Stevens, Managing Editor of EDsmart. “We aim to highlight the top schools that are taking education into the future with technology, have great online programs, but also go above and beyond to provide students with a seamless experience from enrollment to graduation.”
EDsmart.org has conducted an in-depth analysis of the best online accounting degrees in the U.S. The platform has considered historic educational data from the National Center for Education Statistics and data from Payscale, College Scorecard, and school websites to create this ranking.
The final rankings are based on four critical data points, gathered by analysts at the firm, in four key categories: Affordability, Student Satisfaction, Academic Quality, and Student Outcome.
The factors are weighted evenly, with each holding 25 percent of any school’s final score. Thus, the maximum achievable score is 100.
According to the analysis, Walsh University tops the list with a score of 100/100 with an average net price of $17,740, a retention rate of 93%, a Graduation Rate of 79%, and 20-yr ROI of $432,000.
