Top 50 US Online Colleges & Universities by Headcount 2013
Evidence. Expert ise. Impact.
This ranking is based en.rely on our es.mates of headcount. Our sources for this data
include internal data, data we've received directly from schools, IPEDS, and the SEC.
We define "online headcount" as students who are enrolled at least 80% online, and
excludes students taking one or more online courses as a part of an otherwise face-‐to-‐
face experience. The ranking draws an (imperfect) dis.nc.on between online brands
fron.ng smaller consor.a encompassing rela.vely modest ins.tu.onal diversity (e.g.
UMassOnline), which are included, and brands that span a much larger range of schools
(e.g. SUNY Learning Network), which are excluded. We welcome comments on this
dis.nc.on.

the list and think you should be, please let us know at [email protected]
