Ohio State’s online bachelor’s degree offerings are ranked eighth by the publication. Graduate engineering programs placed 18th and the College of Nursing online graduate programs ranked third.

Over the last year, we have dramatically expanded the states in which we offer degrees and look forward to growing the network of Buckeyes receiving a high-quality online degree all across the country.”
