The University of Montana’s Online Master’s Degree in Public Health Ranked Top 20 in the U.S. for 2016

 The University of Montana was recently recognized by Affordable Colleges Online, a leading education and industry resource for online education information, for having one of the best online public health programs in the nation.

Public health is a very important degree that prepares students to be successful in a variety of roles within the health sector.

“Affordable Colleges Online finds it necessary to highlight the top-ranked online master’s in public health programs across the nation.” said Dan Schuessler, CEO and Founder of Affordable Colleges Online. “Not all students who desire a master’s degree in public health fit into the traditional college landscape. These programs give them the freedom to learn in the best way possible for them.”

 In order for universities to qualify for this ranking they must be public, not for profit, institutions and offer at least five online master’s degrees.

Qualifying schools were then evaluated based on the: 

• Count of online master’s degrees available
• Graduate tuition and fees
• Academic and career counseling services
• Job placement for graduates
• AC Online Peer-Based Value (PBV)*
