Arizona State University has been ranked No. 4 for best online bachelor’s programs by U.S. News & World Report.
This year's edition evaluates more than 1,700 online bachelor's and master's degree programs across multiple disciplines using metrics specific to online learning, according to a release.
“The rankings measure overall academic quality at the undergraduate and graduate levels across multiple disciplines and are assessed on a variety of factors such as student engagement, services and technology and faculty credentials,” the release stated.
ASU also earned the No. 3 spot in the nation for best online bachelor's degree in business.
In 2023, nearly 12,000 military-affiliated students were enrolled in degree programs through ASU Online, according to the release.
