Arizona Online continues to cement its reputation as one of the nation's top online education providers, with several strong rankings for its offerings for military-affiliated students in the 2025 Best Online Bachelor's Programs rankings released Tuesday by U.S. News & World Report.

In its 10th year of operation and ninth year of rankings eligibility, Arizona Online received its fifth consecutive top-15 ranking for the best online bachelor's degree programs.

Arizona Online earned an overall score of 91 out of a possible 100 and tied for No. 11 in the peer assessment category, which is determined by academic quality ratings received by presidents, provosts and deans of admissions – or officials in equivalent positions – at institutions submitting peer assessment surveys.

These programs are offered through the Eller College of Management, the College of Science and the College of Engineering.

"These rankings are a testament to the dedication of our faculty and staff, who design and deliver exceptional learning experiences tailored to meet the needs of a diverse and dynamic student population, expanding access and extending the university’s land-grant mission," said Caleb Simmons, executive director of Arizona Online.
