"There are many online colleges and universities that offer a quality education, good prices, and the scheduling flexibility that can really only come from an online degree program. There are also many sites that rank online colleges and universities sometimes using arbitrary information and sometimes using data collected directly from the U.S. Department of Education. We have done our best to collect the available information directly from what the online colleges have reported to the U.S. Department of Education. We hope to present our findings to you in a very readable and useful way to make sure you can make an informed decision if you are looking at various online degree programs."
