EUGENE, Ore., Oct. 25, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Online Schools Report, a new authority in online higher education, has released rankings of the Best Online Business Administration programs for both Bachelor's and Master's degrees.

Year over year, Business is the most popular major in the country, according to the National Center for Education Statistics. There are good reasons for that: it's flexible, profitable, and applicable immediately after graduation.

Business and Financial occupations had a median wage of $67,710 in 2017, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. That's nearly double the median wage for all occupations.

But the downside to majoring in a popular degree is the competition. Students need to stand out from the crowd with a quality degree. That's where Online Schools Report comes in.

Online Schools Report uses a comprehensive set of statistics to determine their rankings. Sticking to hard numbers, they convert data into seven categories: Online Programs Quality measures the strength of a college's online programs; Student Satisfaction is a measure of how alumni feel about their college experience; Online Presence determines how dedicated the school is to having quality programs available across the country; Affordability and Earnings Potential weigh graduates' expected earnings against the cost of the program; and Acceptance and Retention show how hard it is to get into the school and how many students stick around for the whole program.

Online education is getting bigger and better—and giving traditional college campuses a run for their money. Leading education researchers have predicted that online education will surpass traditional learning within a decade. Online Schools Report is here to ensure that these programs are held to the same standard as traditional education, while exploring the unique benefits of online programs.
