VWU Selected for Inclusion in 2022 Best Online Programs
U.S. News & World Report names Virginia Wesleyan among best programs nationally
University News | January 25, 2022
Virginia Wesleyan University Online is again attracting attention in national rankings. The University has been selected for inclusion among U.S. News & World Report’s 2022 Best Online Programs, released today. VWU’s online undergraduate business program is recognized in the discipline-specific category—ranking 125 out of 228. In addition, Virginia Wesleyan tied with a ranking of 210 (out of 358) for online bachelor’s programs.
Distance-education offerings are evaluated by U.S. News at the program level rather than the school level, using data gathered directly from each program. Methodologies are based on a number of factors, including student engagement, services and technologies, faculty credentials and training, and the expert opinion of high-ranking academic officials. Only degree-granting programs at regionally accredited institutions that are offered primarily online were considered.
VWU Online launched at the start of the 2017-2018 academic year with the transition of Virginia Wesleyan from a college to a university. Virginia Wesleyan now offers the following online degree programs for those looking to further their education and improve career-related skills:
