The number of online students climbs yearly as working adults, deployed service members, traditional college students and others are drawn to the flexibility of the programs. About 5.4 million students, or 1 in 4, took at least one distance education course during the fall of 2012, according to the most recent data released by the National Center for Education Statistics. A 2014 survey of online students found that they put the most emphasis on reputation and cost when choosing an online program. But there are many other factors – from class meeting times to graduation rates – to consider. To help students research and compare online programs, U.S. News has released the 2015 Best Online Programs rankings. For the fourth year, the rankings include online bachelor's degrees, as well as online master's degrees in business, engineering, computer information technology, education and nursing. This year, for the first time, U.S. News has ranked online graduate criminal justice programs, and it has created a stand-alone ranking of online MBA programs.
