U.S. News assessed data from nearly 1,500 online degree programs. The rankings include programs that are completely online, though a program still meets the criteria if it has in-person requirements for orientations, testing and support services. The rankings do not include blended learning programs, nor do they distinguish between the for-profit and not-for-profit sectors.

Rankings are determined by factors including student engagement, faculty credentials and training, peer reputation, and student services and technology. Each ranking category weighs the factors differently, and all except for online bachelor’s degree programs also weigh admissions selectivity.

Missouri S&T began its first online degree program — in engineering management — in 1998. Today S&T offers online graduate degree programs in 18 disciplines. More information about Missouri S&T’s online degree programs is available online at dce.mst.edu.
