Three online education programs have received \u201cbest\u201d ratings in the latest rankings from U.S. News & World Report<\/a>.<\/p>\n

UWM\u2019s online bachelor\u2019s program landed at No. 32 among 350 programs ranked nationwide for 2025. UWM was the highest ranked university in Wisconsin.<\/p>\n

UWM\u2019s online MBA program received two \u201cbest\u201d rankings, including No. 135 overall. That program also ranked as the No. 80 best program for military veterans and active-duty service members. The military ranking considers strong academic programs for enrolling veterans and making available ample financial benefits linked to federal programs.<\/p>\n

The rankings only include degree-granting programs offered primarily online by regionally accredited institutions. The rankings are based on several factors specific to online learning, including student engagement, faculty credentials, and services and technologies. Overall, more than 1,700 bachelor\u2019s and master\u2019s programs were considered.<\/p>\n

UWM has long been a leader in online education,\u00a0offering more than 900 courses<\/a>\u00a0and 52 degrees and certificates that can be completed fully online.<\/p>\n

The full rankings for all institutions are available\u00a0on the U.S. News & World Report website<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
