The University of North Florida has been recognized as one of the best schools for online learning at the master’s level by OnlineMastersDegrees.org (OMD). UNF’s programs earned top honors for overall quality, affordability, and commitment to student success.

Overall, UNF was ranked 3rd Best Online Master's Degrees in Dietetics, the Top 20 Most Affordable Online MHA Degrees, and the Top 50 Best Online MHA Degrees.

OMD analyzed more than 7,700 accredited universities by using data pulled from the schools themselves and from the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS). After the data was compiled, OMD’s data science team then applied a proprietary algorithm to rank all qualifying schools for each of the different master’s degrees specialties. 

Primary data points include:

• Academic counseling services
• Career placement services
• Student/faculty ratio
• Tuition
• Percent of students receiving school-based aid
• Amount of school-based aid per student

To be eligible for ranking, a university must hold active regional accreditation and have at least one partially online master’s program in the ranking subject. Just 8 percent of U.S. postsecondary institutions earned a ranking position.
