AffordableCollegesOnline.org, a leading source of higher education and student information, has named the Best Online Colleges in Kentucky for 2016-2017. A total of 31 schools received honors, with Western Kentucky University, Brescia University, Eastern Kentucky University, Midway College and Clear Creek Baptist Bible College scoring at the top for four-year schools and Madisonville Community College, Maysville Community and Technical College, Henderson Community College, Gateway Community and Technical College and Hazard Community and Technical College scoring at the top for two-year schools.
"In 2013, 20 percent of the overall hours students spent learning at Kentucky colleges and universities were online learning hours,” said Dan Schuessler, CEO and Founder of AffordableCollegesOnline.org. "As a growing number of students turn to online college programs in Kentucky, they want to find schools who are offering the best combination of quality and value. These rankings give students that insight.”
In order to qualify for Kentucky’s Best Online College lists, AffordableCollegesOnline.org requires schools to hold regional accreditation and be two year or four year public or private not-for-profit institutions. To maintain affordability standards, only two year schools providing in-state tuition under $5,000 annually and four year colleges with in-state tuition under $25,000 were considered.
