Nonprofit Colleges Online Publishes a Ranking of 50 Best Nonprofit Colleges and Universities for Online Doctorates
BLOOMINGTON, Ind., March 12, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Nonprofit Colleges Online has released the final ranking in a series that looks at the best online nonprofit colleges and universities. The 50 Best Nonprofit Colleges and Universities for Online Doctorates ranking (https://www.nonprofitcollegesonline.com/best-online-doctorates/) was published to highlight the best colleges and universities at which to pursue an online education at the doctoral level. This ranking only considered regionally accredited and nonprofit or public institutions and placed a particular emphasis on its reputation in the area of upper-level career paths of its graduates, particularly in university faculty positions which are among the only careers that typically require a doctorate.
While online doctoral degree programs are not as common as master's programs, many exist in the areas of education, nursing, and physical and occupational therapies. Less common, but still available, are doctoral programs in psychology, the humanities, engineering, as well as some unique programs in apparel merchandising. Most of these programs require some campus visits typically organized as weekend intensives, while a select few are available entirely online.
Placing first in this ranking is Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland. The University of Illinois in Urbana Champaign, Illinois, placed second, and the University of Florida in Gainesville, Florida, placed third.
