We start all of our rankings by consulting the highest possible accreditation standards in a discipline and looking at every degree of the type being considered. We then narrow down our selections with a number of time-tested metrics that matter most to online (and often non-traditional learners). We understand that many students pursuing project management education are in the middle of their careers, or if they aren't, are looking to jump right into the work force and make their mark. For this reason all of our rankings include not only admissions standards, but how accomodating programs are to non-traditional learners. We direct our rankings towards quality flexibile programs through monitoring program features that allow students to accelerate their degrees, slow them down, bypass subjects they already have experience with, and provide a number of specialization areas. With that said, we also make sure to align our ranking picks with industry expectations, academic quality, and selectivity data. If you're interested in how we've compiled one of our rankings below, we've included more detailed descriptions of our ranking process on each ranking, or you can contact us with questions of your own.
