Engineering is one of the most sought-after careers in America, one that requires a good education from a trusted, regionally accredited institution. At both the undergraduate and graduate degree levels, professionals who seek a career path in engineering will find a variety of high-value positions, including leadership positions.
But for professionals who already work in the profession, going to school full-time on a campus is just not an option. These professionals need graduate degrees that can be earned online on their own schedule, which is why College Choice has chosen to create this ranking.
"The online learning world is catching up quickly to the traditional classroom world. With the prominence of MOOCs and other forms of adaptive digital learning, the gaps between these two styles of learning are narrowing. Online students can achieve serious connectivity to their professors and peers through collaborative assignments and video and project-based learning tools," Christian Amondson, Managing Editor of College Choice, said when the ranking was released.
Amondson went on to say that: "The fact that students can now get an online undergraduate or graduate education in engineering is giving the field a wide variety of experienced professionals. For professionals, this is a great way to continue their education while putting what they learn in the classroom to work in the field."
College Choice chose to look at a few important factors when putting together the 2016 ranking for the Best Online Engineering Programs. This included tuition cost, financial aid offerings, time to completion, on-campus residency, and online program features and services. This information was gathered by utilizing statistical and research websites and individual school online portals to ensure the accuracy of the data involved.
