Considered to be the global authority in education rankings, U.S. News evaluated more than 1,700 bachelor's and master's degree programs for its 2022 Best Online Programs list.

The faculty are engaged, innovative and skilled online teachers," Dr. Mary Ellen Glasgow, dean of Duquesne University's School of Nursing, said. "I am appreciative of their efforts especially during the pandemic. Our students are working nurses and required flexibility and accommodations as they pursued graduate education and cared for very sick patients. I could not be prouder of our students and faculty."

"The uncertainty caused by the pandemic may result in more people considering the merits of an online education," Liana Loewus, managing editor of education at U.S. News and World Report, said. "As students consider what's right for them and their schedules, they can use the data provided by U.S. News to research their options and make informed decisions about their academic future."
The Best Online Programs rankings only include programs that are designed to be administered online-they do not evaluate schools or programs that are temporarily virtual due to the coronavirus pandemic.
U.S. News, the only media organization to evaluate online degrees at the program level rather than the school level, uses data gathered directly from each institution. The methodologies are based on factors such as student engagement, faculty credentials and student services and technology. Only degree-granting programs that are offered primarily online by regionally accredited institutions were considered.
