Two online graduate programs at IUP have been selected by a national publication for “best online programs”.
The IUP online masters programs in criminology and mathematics education were recently selected for the 2023 Best Online Program rankings for U.S. News and World Report. These rankings are the only U.S. rankings that evaluate specific online programs rather than grouping all of the programs into a single ranking. The five factors used to set the ranking include engagement, faculty credentials, expert opinions through peer assessment, services and technology and student excellence.
The online criminology program went up five spots from its 2022 rankings to be ranked in the top 27 programs in the nation, with IUP being the only university in Pennsylvania in the top 29 online criminal justice master’s programs rankings. The masters in math education program is one of three programs in PA public universities to be ranked in the top 150 universities.
This recognition follows a number of national accolades for IUP, including the fall 2022 U.S. News & World Report’s recognition, for the twenty-ninth consecutive year, as one of the “Best National Universities” in the nation.
