Online Schools Report Publishes Ranking of Best Online General Studies Degrees for 2020
EUGENE, Ore., Jan. 28, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Online Schools Report has released their ranking of the Best Online General Education. Based on the most up-to-date Department of Education data, these schools offer the best online general studies programs in the country.
General education majors build a strong base of knowledge in dozens of subjects. As STEM and career-training programs rise in popularity, some students may feel like a general education degree is too expensive a risk. However, according to the Department of Education's College Scorecard, graduates from the degrees on OSR's general education ranking had only $23,400 of debt on average. This is well below the national average for college students regardless of degree: $26,900 for public school grads and $32,600 for private school grads.
OSR used six data points to determine the best general studies programs, including the above-mentioned average debt. Three data points focus on the quality of the school, and three focus on the quality of the individual program. OSR included these programs in the ranking because their students graduate with minimal debt and have a great support system while in school. These schools are dedicated to delivering a quality online degree.
