OnlineCollegePlan.com Recognizes Excellence in College Websites in Latest School Ranking
CLEMSON, S.C., Aug. 24, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Almost 7 million students, comprising 32% of all those enrolled in a higher ed institute, are enrolled in online schools. These numbers have only continued to grow, undoubtedly placing more pressure on schools to have exemplary on-screen campuses — made up of their platform, their resources, and even their social media presence. In this day and age, it takes a prospective student less than 30 seconds to size up a website; if a school doesn't have a good presentation, then it can easily fall off a student's list for good. OnlineCollegePlan.com understands this, and took to doing a lot of research for these students. http://www.onlinecollegeplan.com/
OnlineCollegePlan.com has published a college ranking titled "Top 50 Online Schools with the Best Websites" (http://www.onlinecollegeplan.com/online-schools-best-websites/), which walks the reader through 50 top schools that have mastered the art of having a clean and functional website that is also pleasing to eye. Navigation and functionality were the key criteria, but the design and information presented within the college websites were also considered in the rankings.
