Reno, Nev. (PRWEB) November 13, 2016 -- A list ranking Missouri’s Best Online Colleges has been released by leading online higher education information provider AffordableCollegesOnline.org.

"The Missouri higher education system’s biggest goal is to have 60 percent of all adults in the state to hold a certificate or other college degree by the year 2025,” said Dan Schuessler, CEO and Founder of AffordableCollegesOnline.org. "A great way to maximize college learning is to provide more flexible options, such as online programs. This list shows the Missouri schools who are going the extra mile to ensure student successes by providing affordable, quality degree programs online.”
To qualify for the Best Online Colleges in Missouri ranking, schools must meet specific baseline criteria. Only colleges and universities who are accredited, public or private not-for-profit entities are eligible. Cost efficiency requirements are also set; only two-year schools who provide in-state tuition for under $5,000 per year and four-year schools who provide in-state tuition under $25,000 per year are considered. All eligible schools are analyzed and compared on more than a dozen different data points ranging from financial aid availability to variety of online programs to determine an overall score and rank.
