Online engineering grad degrees highly ranked
The Ohio State University College of Engineering’s online graduate programs have been ranked 20th in the nation by U.S. News & World Report. The college offers three online graduate degrees, including the Master of Science in Welding Engineering, the Master of Global Engineering Leadership and the Master of Engineering Management.
Changing demographics and learner needs spurred a boom in online learning opportunities even prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. Since 2013, Ohio State’s online engineering and nursing graduate programs have been included in the site’s rankings.
Ohio State’s online Master of Science in Nursing is ranked No. 1 in the country for 2022, and its four online undergraduate degree programs, including Nursing's RN to Bachelor of Science in Nursing program, again ranked among the top 10.
“Engineering is both experienced and innovative in delivering online courses,” said Director of Professional and Distance Education Programs Bob Mick. “Our welding engineering program launched the MS online degree more than a decade ago, while our Master of Global Engineering Leadership and Master of Engineering Management uniquely combines engineering, business and policy curriculum.”
Ohio State’s online degree and certificate programs are taught by the same faculty who teach on campus, and courses have a small student-to-instructor ratio. Each faculty member partners with an instructional designer – an expert who helps the instructor optimize the course content and engagement experience for a technology-rich modality.
“Our online programs extend Ohio State’s academic excellence to students in Ohio and beyond, uplifting the university’s commitment to access and affordability while supporting current and future workforce needs,” said Associate Vice President for Distance Education Robert Griffiths. “We’re proud that our efforts have again been recognized in the U.S. News & World Report rankings and by our peers across the country.”
With a focus on quality instruction and affordability, U.S. News & World Report ranks the top online programs at regionally accredited institutions across the country. Rankings indicators include engagement, student excellence, services and technologies, faculty credentials and training, and expert opinion.
