Angelo State Ranked Among Top Online Colleges in U.S.

On a 100-point scale, ASU received a score of 88.2 to rank No. 22 in the U.S., and ASU is one of only two Texas universities listed in the top 25. To formulate the rankings, EDsmart rated schools in four categories:

• Affordability (average net price)
• Student Satisfaction (retention rate)
• Academic Quality (4-year graduation rate)
• Student Outcomes (20-year return on investment)

Data for the rating scores was gathered from the National Center for Education Statistics, College Scorecard, Payscale.com and school websites.

Dr. Don Topliff “This national recognition highlights the quality of an Angelo State education and lets prospective students know they can access that education no matter where they live,” said Dr. Don Topliff, provost and vice president for academic affairs. “Because of our quality online programs, the Ram Family continues to grow throughout the state, the country and the world.”
