2020 Best Online Programs

Multiple online programs at the University of Denver have been ranked among the top in the nation. That’s according to U.S. News & World Report, which today released its 2020 Best Online Programs rankings.

University College’s bachelor of arts completion program is now ranked No. 73, up three spots from last year. The program allows students to receive a fresh academic start by transferring up to three years of previous college credit toward a bachelor’s degree from DU. The average age of a bachelor’s student at University College is 35, and roughly 20% of the students are from out of state.

U.S. News also recognized University College’s master’s degree in information and communications technology. The program is now ranked No. 41, a slight improvement from a year ago. Students pursuing a degree in this program focus on bridging the gap between business requirements and technical solutions. Areas of concentration include cybersecurity management, information systems security and telecommunications technology.

“We’re proud to consistently score well in the areas of student engagement best practices, retention, and student services and technology,” says Michael McGuire, dean of University College. “These rankings are helpful for prospective students making a decision about their education and for current students in the program to bolster their choice to attend the University of Denver.”

The Executive Online Master’s in Real Estate and the Built Environment is the only program of its kind in an accredited business college, teaching the full life-cycle of the built environment.
