Two College Online Programs Ranked Among Best In US
Two Newberry College online programs have been named among the best in the country, according to rankings released by higher education research engine Intelligent.com.
Newberry’s accelerated online bachelor’s in psychology was honored at No. 6 in the nation. It was the only program based from the southeastern United States to make the list. Newberry even placed ahead of more well-known names in online education, such as Maryville (No. 14) and Southern New Hampshire University (No. 16).
Newberry’s Bachelor of Science in respiratory therapy was named No. 21. The program is the only baccalaureate degree in respiratory therapy offered by a South Carolina-based school.
To prepare its rankings, Intelligent.com undertook a comprehensive analysis of over 3,000 colleges and universities nationwide. Each program was evaluated based on academic quality, faculty, graduation rate, cost, return on investment, and available student resources.
“Newberry College continues to prepare students to be successful and effective as industry and society’s demands continue to evolve,” said Dr. Beth Hinga, vice president for academic affairs. “What students find at Newberry, whether they attend online or in-person, is personal attention, innovation, affordability and flexibility, and these rankings are a reflection of that.”
Newberry offers six fully online undergraduate programs — business administration, criminal justice, health care management, psychology, RN-to-BSN, and respiratory therapy.
The College also offers four fully online master’s programs — criminal justice, organizational development & leadership, and sport management & leadership. Classes in the newest addition, a Master of Education in teaching, learning & curriculum, begin April 29, 2025.
Each online program offers multiple starts per year to fit students’ individual needs. To learn more or apply, please contact Bill Kuehl, director of enrollment for online & graduate studies, at Bill.Kuehl@newberry.edu or 803-321-5276, or visit newberry.edu.
