City University of Seattle’s Online Bachelor’s Programs Rank Among Top 50 in U.S.

In January 2014, City University of Seattle’s online bachelor’s programs were ranked among the top 50 in U.S. News & World Reports’ “Best Online Programs”.

Over 850 accredited U.S. based institutions were evaluated, and for the second year in a row CityU was the only private Washington State based institution to make the list.

These rankings are based on academic reputation; graduation and retention rates; faculty resources; student selectivity; financial resources; and alumni giving. As a leading nonprofit university in the Pacific Northwest, CityU excels in these areas and remains dedicated to innovating new ways to reach students online and face-to-face.

“It is an honor to again be ranked among U.S. News & World Report’s top 50,” said City University of Seattle President Richard Carter. “This ranking demonstrates CityU’s dedication to serving our students, and confirms our commitment to quality by offering a premier, relevant, and 21^st century education.”

CityU is expanding its acclaimed bachelor’s offerings in 2014 to include a Bachelor of Science in Healthcare Administration and a Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice. Both integrate input given by professional advisory boards and aim to prepare students for in-demand careers.

In addition to this U.S. News & World Report ranking, CityU has also been ranked among the Top 20 Best Online Programs for Veterans by U.S. News & World Report. CityU is also ranked among…
