Ranking Of Top Online Degree Programs


Top schools for online bachelor’s and master’s degrees.

US News Report.

Online course enrollment in the United States hit an all-time high in 2010 with more than 6.1 million students, and the trend shows no signs of leveling off, according to a 2011 report by the Babson Survey Research Group.
Enrollment in online classes doubled between 2007 and 2011, driven largely by a stagnant economy and competitive job market, but also by robust online offerings from established public and private institutions, according to the report. At more than 2,500 colleges and universities surveyed, 65 percent of administrators say that online learning is a vital piece of their institution's long-term strategy.


The numbers represent the rankings in each category, but there is no overall ranking.

Graduate Program Outlook 2012



“How can the higher education system enroll more students to its programs?

This is a question that institutions have been asking for a long time and quite often. I remember reading a report recently about Canada where it stated that international students contribute more to their economy through their universities and their respective scholarship programs. In the same way, domestic scholarship system also needs a boost and a blessing from the industry.

SUNY Buffalo NY
I think several state universities like the SUNY schools in NY are helping international students, who are the cream of the talent, to graduate with reasonable tuition fees. They have about 63 education centers across the state and an average of 40,000+ new graduate admissions every year. The overall strength of their alumni is beyond astounding – it is about 3 million!  I am personally proud to acknowledge that I have hired high caliber graduate students from there in the course of visiting their campuses for career fairs.  They are real stars in performance and innovation.

A major concern for the nation is Brain drain. Many of the international students return to their homes and subsequently crisscross the continent with various career moves. Knowledge and trained skills do not remain within. Top innovators such as Apple, Microsoft, Google and Amazon are building programs to address this very concern. This is Good news! Several reputed technology solution providers like Marlabs have established well-planned and proven Graduate hiring programs in campus centers across North America to retain talent within the nation and the industry.

At the same time, it is the responsibility of the graduate job seeker to ask the right questions and understand if the potential employer has futuristic plans. For engineering and computer science graduates, the Computer World has published the Hot skill sets in information technology for 2012. If one is passionate about User Interface HTML5 - new JavaScript also may be explored in large scale web application development. In this context - number of admissions/new enrollment for 2012 looks very promising for higher education.

As I have repeatedly emphasized before, I will do so again - human civilization has crossed the stone age, the industrial age, the information age and now it has embarked upon the Talent Age! Talent is your new power. Talent is your new economy. Talent age rules. You hold the key!”
