From full university degree programs to professional development courses to classes for hobbyists or those just wanting to learn something new, the range of education available online is enormous. The choices can be daunting.

For the second year, Newsweek and global data firm Statista have worked together to find “America’s Top Online Colleges 2023” and “America’s Top Online Learning Providers 2023.” Our lists are based on a survey of about 9,000 online learners and our own research about the institutions.

For America’s Top Online Colleges we ranked 200 colleges and universities that (also) offer online undergraduate or graduate programs. The awarded institutions received either five stars, if their aggregate score value is above the median score of all awarded institutions, or four stars, if their score is below.

For America’s Top Online Learning Providers we selected 50 organizations that offer online certificate and non-certificate courses supporting the professional or personal development of learners in the U.S. We used the same star system as with Top Online Colleges and Universities. While the star rating can be helpful in comparing these institutions, we didn’t rank the Top Online Learning Providers. The topic and form of the courses they offer is too varied to make an overall ranking meaningful.

If you are looking for quality online education, we hope you will find our listings helpful.
