San Francisco (PRWEB) March 31, 2017
The Community for Accredited Online Schools, a leading resource provider for higher education information, has determined the best colleges and universities with online programs in Massachusetts for 2017. Of the 34 four-year schools that made the final list, Boston University, Harvard University, Suffolk University, Northeastern University and University of Massachusetts Amherst took the top five spots. 12 two-year colleges also made the list for Massachusetts, with Bunker Hill Community College, Bristol Community College, Mount Wachusett Community College, Quinsigamond Community College and Massasoit Community College taking the lead.
“Massachusetts is well-known for its outstanding educational options, and the schools on our list are no exception,” said Doug Jones, CEO and founder of AccreditedSchoolsOnline.org. “By offering online certificates and degrees, these schools have demonstrated that they can accommodate even the busiest student schedules while offering the same, top-quality education an on-campus student receives.”
To earn a spot on the “Best Online Schools in Massachusetts” list, colleges and universities must be accredited, public or private not-for-profit institutions. Each college is also judged based on such metrics as student/teacher ratios, counseling resources, graduation rates and financial aid availability.
