GetEducated.com (Approved Colleges LLC property) was founded in 1989 and online since 1998. Its mission is to help consumers make informed choices about investing in a college degree.
As an independent consumer group, GetEducated.com publishes online college rankings along the dimensions that matter most to online students: affordability and credibility. Information is sourced directly from college and university websites and government websites such as the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
GetEducated.com was created in partnership with America Online and the Electronic University Network. Schools included in the online directory do not pay to be included in any GetEducated online degree ranking report. The rankings in the report are editorially independent, open to any properly accredited college that offers an associate’s degree that is available at least 80% through online learning and is open to enrollment by the public.
