Getting an online education is becoming easier and easier for students and working professionals all over the country. In Texas, the ability to find a great school with online programs is growing at such a rate that a separate ranking for the state was needed. From private top-tier institutions to public schools with some of the lowest tuition rates in the country, Texas online colleges are some of the best programs for any student that has primary responsibilities that keep them from pursuing a traditional degree.
"Online schools in Texas provide students with engaging and exciting learning opportunities, all without having to leave home to complete a degree. As well, online universities in Texas serve a diverse body of learners, with non-traditional students as a primary population. Alongside traditional programs, online degrees in Texas are thriving—students who complete their degrees do so quickly and are searching for jobs with confidence," Christian Amondson, Managing Editor of College Choice, said as the ranking was released.
College Choice curated the Best Online Colleges in Texas 2016 ranking by looking first and foremost a school's academic reputation, its online programs, and its tuition.
