The fact that these programs are also online allows students with obligations outside of school--such as work or family--to receive an affordable education that is flexible."

The schools in this ranking offer students a wide range of options. Some schools have a very large enrollment while others are small. Students have the option of private, public or nonprofit schools and may also explore a wide variety of financial aid opportunities in relation to any of these schools. Two of the schools in the ranking are accredited by the AACSB, a highly sought after accreditation agency.
