Graduation Rates for Popular Online Colleges

[CatsDomino]

TESU and COSC are a bit skewed. Many of their students only take a handful of courses and are then graduating.

Purdue Global is non-profit. They still have small campuses in 5 states for in person classes. That part is odd! Why they have an online law school I don't know. You can't take the Bar Exam is you go to an online law school. Well you can sit for the Cali Bar but nowhere else. It is also ACBSP accredited. The place is such an odd duck. Quack

It would be interesting to know what FHSU is doing because it has a 91% acceptance rate, and it 11,000 out of their 15,000 students are online. The issue with UMGC might be that it serves the military around the world at satellite campuses. The other numbers for the public universities aren't all that surprising.

FHSU....wow....what??? Did not see those numbers coming!

I'm not surprised at the numbers for FHSU.  They're definitely doing something right because I can remember finding their online program way back in 2008.  Also, check out their tuition for their virtual college, and their undergrad and graduate offerings.  My youngest decided during the pandemic lockdown that he would transfer his CC AS there as a virtual student in their BSCS.  His experience so far has been very positive and, speaking with three of his friends who went to a popular state school for CS, his education is on par with theirs except his labs are virtual.  He'll also come out of school 100% debt free thanks to his PTK and other academic scholarships and still have money for a MSCS left in his college fund.  He's planning to attend ECU online for grad school since we live in NC and they offer a MSCS for about $9000 with in-state tuition.
