General criteria for the rankings were as follows: must offer a bachelor’s degree or higher, must be a public or private not-for-profit institution and must offer at least one fully online bachelor’s degree program. College and universities were evaluated based on their online tuition rate, count of online bachelor’s degrees available in the field, undergraduate student to faculty ratios, six year graduation rate, percent of students receiving financial aid, academic and career counseling services, job placement for graduates, acceptance rate, loan default rate and the overall value of the online degree.

Clinical Internship/Practicum Experience Update

Many of the clinical programs offered by the Waters College of Health Professions require a clinical internship or practicum experience to fulfill degree requirements. Pursuant to the University's legal agreements, participants in clinical experiences are required to abide by the workplace rules of the clinical site. The University is aware of recent federal requirements that would mandate vaccination against COVID-19 for those working in certain settings, including health care. At this time, we expect that these new requirements may significantly impact our ability to locate a placement for students who remain unvaccinated. As always, WCHP will continue to make every effort to place students at clinical sites. However, please be aware that we may be unable to locate a site to accept unvaccinated students, which may cause a delay or inability to progress and complete the program of study.
