The Online University Consortium uses the industry's highest quality education standards to evaluate and promote online degree programs from traditional universities. Twenty-eight of the world's largest corporate learning departments, representing in excess of 2.5 million employees, now employ these standards of online education.

Standards Used to Qualify a University or Degree Program (we evaluate):

  If the university and their online degree programs are accredited both regionally and through a program-specific standard such as AACSB is to business.

  If the university has enrollment and admissions' standards or outcomes-based graduation requirements.

  If campus-based professors facilitate and instruct online degree programs.

  If the university provider maintains a proper balance between program development and promotion.

  If both quality and/or quantity of student throughput in online degree programs is high.
