Reno, Nev. (PRWEB) November 11, 2016 -- A leading online higher education resource provider has released the names of the Best Online Colleges in Tennessee for 2016-2017. AffordableCollegesOnline.org pinpointed 27 two- and four-year schools across Tennessee who offer the best combination of value and flexibility in online learning, with University of Memphis, Lee University, Bethel University, Cumberland University and Tennessee State University scoring highest among four-year schools and Cleveland State Community College, Volunteer State Community College, Chattanooga State Community College, Motlow State Community College and Columbia State Community College scoring highest among two-year schools.
"Undergraduate e-learning programs make up more than 15 percent of all undergraduate instruction at four-year public colleges in Tennessee, and more than 25 percent at two-year public colleges,” said Dan Schuessler, CEO and Founder of AffordableCollegesOnline.org. "Our lists highlights schools that are helping to maximize student success with e-learning programs, specifically those focusing on maintaining affordability and quality standards while giving students more flexible learning paths.”
Schools qualify for a spot on the Best Online Colleges in Tennessee only if they meet the base criteria set by AffordableCollegesOnline.org. Each must be an accredited institution that holds public or private not-for-profit status. Each college is also required to meet affordability standards; in-state tuition may not exceed more than $5,000 annually at two-year schools and $25,000 annually at four-year schools to qualify. Colleges meeting these criteria points are then scored and ranked based on a comparison of more than a dozen unique statistics, including variety of online programs, graduation rates and more.
