As a media company dedicated to helping citizens, consumers, business leaders and policy officials make important decisions, U.S. News & World Report publishes independent reporting, rankings, data journalism and advice that have earned their readers' trust for more than 85 years.
U.S. News & World Report ranks programs that operate predominantly online; however, the rankings do not differentiate between programs operated by for-profit and nonprofit schools. The collection of information necessary to create the 2021 Best Online Bachelor’s Programs rankings required compiling a list of schools offering bachelor's degree programs online and collecting data from these schools.
In developing the 2021 Best Online Bachelor's Programs rankings, U.S. News & World Report assessed online colleges based on four general categories: student engagement, services and technologies available to students, faculty credentials and training, as well as expert opinion on the academic quality of programs.
Dr. Connie Johnson, Ed.D, CTU's Chief Academic Officer and Provost, noted: CTU's recognition among these rankings continues to affirm our dedication to our students and our faculty and staff's commitment to growing as leaders in hybrid learning and online education.
