As the typical profile of an incoming college freshman has become more varied, colleges have created online programs of unprecedented quality and abundance. Some online degrees can be completed without ever stepping foot on a college campus, while others give students the flexibility to complete part of their degree requirements online.
"Florida has long had a diverse landscape of excellent colleges and universities, and many of their online programs and institutions are similarly top-notch," Christian Amondson, Managing Editor of College Choice said of the ranking. "Fortunately, online programs have shed their negative stigma. So now you can get an equally competitive college degree online—and pay half the price."
