Online College Rankings

Thinking about enrolling in an online college, but can't decide which school is right for you, or which online college offers the best financial aid, or has the best graduation rate? The Online Education Database has posted its 2009 online college rankings. OEDb has used eight criteria for its online college rankings, including acceptance rate, financial aid, retention rate and years accredited.

OEDb warns prospective enrollees that online colleges still do not have the prestige they might otherwise earn because of the proliferation of degree mills. But, as a bright spot, OEDb says that "online colleges are now receiving increasing respect from top employers." So, choose your online college carefully, and always check with prospective employers how their organization views online degrees before you plunk down the big bucks to enroll.
