The University of Toledo continues to move up in the U.S. News & World Report list of the top online bachelor’s programs.
Overall, UToledo is ranked 150 out of 381 total institutions listed in the 2023 Best Online Programs ranking, an increase from 153 last year.
The U.S. News rankings released Jan. 24 also assess individual online degree programs in which UToledo ranked highly.
In its first opportunity, the new online MBA program in the John B. and Lillian E. Neff College of Business and Innovation placed 185 out of 366, ranking higher than about half of the other online MBA programs across the country.
The Online Bachelor of Business Program also climbed to No. 58, placing in the top 30%.
UToledo’s Online Bachelor Programs for Veterans, Online Master’s of Education in the Judith Herb College of Education and Online Master’s of Engineering in the College of Engineering also improved and ranked highly this year.
The U.S. News rankings are determined based on criteria that include student engagement, student services and technology, faculty credentials and training, and expert opinion.
Specific to online programs, there is a focus on graduate indebtedness, course delivery and academic and career support made available to students remotely.
“We are proud to provide high-quality, flexible learning options and supportive faculty and staff whether students are on campus or online,” said Dr. Risa Dickson, provost and executive vice president for academic affairs. “Student success is our focus every day, and these improved rankings are further evidence that our efforts are working.”
In addition, the College of Engineering recently received recognition from Fortune Magazine.
Fortune ranked UToledo’s new, in-person Master’s of Cybersecurity Program 13th in the country.
These new honors follow UToledo being named as one of the world’s best universities last fall by U.S. News & World Report, making it one of only 280 U.S. schools ranked internationally in the Best Global Universities list.
UToledo also was recognized for the first time among the top universities in the country in the 2022-23 U.S. News and World Report Best Colleges rankings released in September.
