SMSU receives ranking as one of best value online schools

Southwest Minnesota State University was recently named to the ranking of the best value online schools in Minnesota for 2016.

The ranking was created using data from the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System to narrow its list down to schools enrolling at least 15 percent of its student body in distance education coursework. Staff then ranked the schools based on average undergraduate graduation rates, in-state tuition rates, variety and range of online class offerings, stability and promotion/expansion of virtual classroom initiatives. Southwest Minnesota State University was ranked sixth.

Best Value Schools helps students find schools and degree programs that can provide the most available financial aid and assistance, the greatest support and service, the highest return on investment, and the best overall value.
