AffordableCollegesOnline.org is a leading resource for online learning and college affordability information.

According to a recent study by the Babson Survey Research Group, the online student population in the country is now more than 7 million. More than 150,000 students in Pennsylvania are enrolled in more than one online class.

"We wanted to highlight the schools in each state that are driving innovative learning and meeting demands of students," said Dan Schuessler, CEO and founder of AC Online. "These schools are not only offering great programs, but they have expanded their program excellence to the much-desired online environment."

In order for universities to qualify for the ACO rankings they must be a public, not-for-profit institution and offer at least three online bachelor degree programs with an annual tuition of less than $25,000.


Qualifying schools were then evaluated based on the:

  • Published tuition and fees for in state undergraduate students;
  • The percent of full time undergraduate students receiving institutional financial aid;
  • The number on online programs offered; and
  • Student-to-teacher ratio
