PULLMAN, Wash. – Washington State University’s online degree program, WSU Online, is ranked in the nation’s top five, according to a new analysis by SuperScholar.
For its 2011 Smart Choice rankings, SuperScholar examined 25 regionally accredited online colleges and universities. Schools were ranked according to credibility, prestige, academic quality, student support services and overall student satisfaction.
WSU Online ranked fourth on the list.
The analysis cited WSU’s “outstanding academic reputation” and noted that WSU Online has “proved itself to be one of the premier online degree programs in the country.”
SuperScholar is an organization that aims to help students make wise choices about where to earn an online degree. Its Smart Choice list was examined by a separate organization, Brainz.org.
“We believe in highlighting college rankings that do a good job of separating the top colleges out from all the rest,” the Brainz website said. Of all the online-school rankings, “this one was the best of the bunch,” it said.
