The Community for Accredited Online Schools, a leading resource provider for higher education information, has released a list of the best colleges and universities with online business degrees in the country for 2017. Out of the 50 four-year schools were ranked, University of Toledo, Davenport University, Pace University New York, Temple University and Hawaii Pacific University were the top five. Schools were required to offer a bachelor’s degree in business to qualify.

“A business degree is a versatile tool that can support a wide array of careers,” said Doug Jones, CEO and founder of AccreditedSchoolsOnline.org. “These schools have been selected for providing the best bachelor’s level business education, combined with the flexibility of online learning and resources to help working students fit education into their busy lifestyles.”

To earn a spot on a Community for Accredited Online Schools “Best” list, colleges and universities must be accredited, public or private not-for-profit institutions. Each college is also judged based on such criteria as student resources, student/teacher ratios, availability of academic counseling, graduation rates and financial aid offerings.
