Ranking Methodology

EDsmart’s rankings are designed to help students compare colleges using transparent, reliable data. Rather than relying on reputation alone, EDsmart evaluates schools across several key areas relevant to student success:

  • Student Completion & Success — How well students stay enrolled and graduate

  • Affordability & Financial Aid Access — True costs after financial aid

  • Student Support Infrastructure — Resources that help students stay on track

  • Career Outcomes & Earnings — How graduates perform in the job market

Each institution receives a score from multiple trusted data sources, and only colleges with clear, verifiable online program information are included in the ranking.For full details on the Arkansas online colleges ranking, see: https://www.edsmart.org/accredited-online-colleges/arkansas/
