Draper, UT -- (SBWire) -- 10/25/2019 --EDsmart's ranking of the best online colleges in Tennessee is the most comprehensive and well-rounded to date. The ranking includes only fully accredited schools. Rankings are based on affordability, academic quality, student satisfaction and post-graduation salaries according to data from the U.S. Department of Education.
"As online college courses become more prevalent, it is important to recognize the colleges and universities that go above and beyond," said Tyson Stevens, managing editor of EDsmart. "Our goal is to highlight these schools and their commitment to higher education."
"The Best Online Colleges in Tennessee ranking allow students to compare accredited programs and find those that best fit their education interests and career goals," said EDsmart's spokesperson.
