Online College Ranking by Acceptance Rate
A colleges's overall quality and prestige is in part determined by its selectivity (of which acceptance rate is an indicator). The acceptance rate figures are provided by the College Navigator database from the Institute of Education Sciences, a sub-agency of the US Department of Education. The data is for the fall 2006 entering undergraduate class.
College Navigator did not have acceptance rate figures for all of the online colleges. We did not however want to penalize those colleges without figures. To that end, we have adjusted the rankings of the colleges in this category. Read more about adjusted rankings.
