Georgia State University has been awarded listed as one of America’s Top Online Colleges by Newsweek
The 2024 ranking of America's Top Online Colleges showcases the best institutions providing online degree programs. These programs cater to learners seeking academic degrees, offering a mix of online and offline courses or exams through hybrid formats. This prestigious recognition is presented by Newsweek and Statista Inc., the world-leading statistics portal and industry ranking provider.
Georgia State University is pleased to be highlighted on Newsweek’s 2024 list of America’s Top Colleges. Listed among only 200 recognized institutions, GSU has earned a four-star rating for its comprehensive online degree programs, specialized professional development courses, and other offerings.
Newsweek and Statistica Inc. surveyed more than 9,000 individuals in the United States. Survey respondents indicated which institutions they used to obtain an online degree or where they attended an online course. Respondents rated the institutions based on six different subdimensions: organization, support, price, reputation, success, and practical relevance. Finally, respondents rated how satisfied they were with the organization and to what extent they would recommend it to others. User reviews and additional institutional indicators were transformed into score values and aggregated towards a final score.
The distinction adds to recent recognition for the University’s online programs. In February, the U.S. News & World Report named three Georgia State University online graduate programs to their respective “2023 Best Online Programs” list.
