Online College Ranking by Student-Faculty Ratio

The more personal attention a student is able to receive from his/her professors, the more the student will become engaged in the subject matter. Nowhere is this reflected better than a college's student-faculty ratio, which can be found at Peterson's College Search. The lower this ratio, the more attractive a college should be in this regard.

Peterson's College Search did not have student-faculty ratios 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.
