"These schools are going above and beyond the industry standard to help make online education programs an excellent option and more affordable,鈥� said Dan Schuessler, CEO and founder of ACO.
Only public, not-for-profit institutions were eligible for the ranking. The primary data points used to identify the best online colleges of 2018 include the following:
- Regional accreditation
- In-state tuition and fees
- Percent of full-time undergraduate students receiving institutional financial aid
- Number of online programs offered
- Student-to-teacher ratio
ACO distinguished its ranking scale by using a Peer-Based Value metric, or PBV. A 鈥渂ang for your buck鈥� metrics, the PBV compares the cost of a program to the cost of other programs with the same (or a similar) qualitative score. It also compares the qualitative score of the program to the score of other programs with the same (or a similar cost).
