Great jobs and career success depend on having the right knowledge, skills, and credentials. For most of us, that means a college or university degree. Nowadays that also means choosing between online and campus-based education.

Through our ranking, degree, and career articles, TheBestSchools.org empowers you to make the informed decisions about your education. Through our feature, resource, and magazine articles, we help you to gain the most out of your educational experience.

Education demands a significant investment of time and money. In finding the best school and degree program for you, we are dedicated to making your education rewarding and fulfilling.

TheBestSchools.org provides in-depth rankings of degree programs and colleges and universities. We do this across many different schools and programs so that you can find the course of study that is right for you. At TheBestSchools.org, we are very deliberate in our rankings, balancing academic excellence, return on investment, and indirect or secondary benefits in evaluating schools or programs. For our approach to ranking educational programs, see our article “TheBestSchools.org’s Ranking System.”
