EDsmart Releases 2021's 10 Most Affordable Accredited Online Colleges

EDsmart.org, a nationally recognized publisher of college resources and rankings, has released the 2021 edition of the 10 Most Affordable Accredited Online Colleges.

Draper, UT -- (SBWire) -- 07/02/2021 --EDsmart's ranking of the 10 Most Affordable Accredited Online Colleges is the most comprehensive and well-rounded to date. The ranking includes only fully accredited schools. Rankings are based on affordability, academic quality, student satisfaction, and student outcome according to data gathered from the U.S. Department of Education.

"As online degrees become more prevalent, it is important to recognize the colleges and universities that go above and beyond," said Tyson Stevens, managing editor of EDsmart. "Our goal is to highlight these schools and their commitment to higher education."

"The 10 Most Affordable Accredited Online Colleges ranking allows students to compare accredited programs and find those that best fit their education interests and career goals," said EDsmart's spokesperson. "Beyond providing affordable education, a college is not successful if it does not graduate its students, which is why EDsmart rankings place a high value on outcomes, including graduation and retention rates, and post-graduation earnings."
