For the 2016 rankings, OnlineColleges.net, collected extensive data points from each school across the nation, data the company considered the greatest indicators of a quality education.
All of the school information used in the company’s database, including graduation rate,
tuition and financial aid rate was gathered using the most recent information from the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS), a resource maintained by the National Center for Education Statistics.

The formula assigns a percentile value to each variable and then, taking the school’s cumulative performance, ranks every institution in a given category. The end result is an accurate and organized list of the standout schools for 2016.
