Meanwhile, UF\u2019s online master\u2019s program for veterans and active-duty service members shared the No. 10 spot with Columbia University in New York City and the University of Southern California.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Those rankings represent overall public and private institutions. The two programs fared even better among U.S. News\u2019 ranking of public-only universities, with the online master&#8217;s program ranked No. 11 and the graduate program for vets and active-duty military students ranked No. 7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Released today, the news comes as no surprise for the programs\u2019 students and faculty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSpeaking as someone who attended in-person and now online, the program at UF is just as rigorous as the in-person classes,\u201d said student Tori Hoffman. \u201cThis sets the online program miles above other programs that have different schedules and expectations for students in online-only environments.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u201c<\/strong>The ranking does not surprise me,\u201d added fellow online student Matthew Richards. \u201cStudents from anywhere on the planet get to attend a great university at a low cost compared to many other universities. The cost savings are very important since many students are burdened with over-whelming student debt by the time they graduate.\u201d<br \/><br \/>U.S. News evaluated schools based on a variety of factors, such as student engagement, faculty credentials, and services and technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In its 13th year, the U.S. News <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usnews.com\/education\/online-education\/rankings\">Best Online Programs<\/a> edition evaluates more than 1,600 online bachelor&#8217;s and master&#8217;s degree programs. The rankings only include degree-granting programs offered primarily online by accredited institutions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAccess to accurate and up-to-date information about online programs is important for prospective students and professionals,\u201d said LaMont Jones, managing editor for education at U.S. News. \u201cBy evaluating factors such as student engagement and program quality, Best Online Programs rankings can help students identify which schools offer an exceptional online learning experience.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Engineering faculty members contend the rankings fall in line with the quality and convenience they strive to offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;This recognition highlights the dedication of our faculty, who work tirelessly to deliver an exceptional online learning experience for our students,&#8221; said Denise Simmons, Ph.D., associate dean for Workforce Development at the college. &#8220;Our programs empower engineering professionals in the workforce with the knowledge and skills they need to advance their careers and make a lasting impact in their fields.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Simon Phillpot, a distinguished professor with the UF Department of Materials Science &amp; Engineering, said the online programs offer a vital service, particularly for students who already have embarked on their careers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMany of these students combine the technical courses with classes in engineering leadership, management, or entrepreneurship,\u201d he said. \u201cI have a great deal of respect for these students. They already have busy lives, often have families, and have to carve out time for classes, typically one or two each semester.\u00a0Their commitment level is high as they know the sacrifices they and their families are making and the payoff it will give them.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Two online engineering graduate programs at the University of Florida cracked the Top 15 \u2013 one hitting No. 10 \u2013 on U.S. News &#038;
