About Online Universities

Online Universities helps prospective students find and compare online degrees offered by accredited US institutions — from a first bachelor's degree or an RN-to-BSN completion program to an online master's, an EdD or a PhD. You can browse by degree level, subject and the state where the university is based, filter by campus-visit and placement requirements, tuition basis and deadlines, and compare up to four programs side by side without creating an account.

What we are — and are not

We are an independent directory. We are not a university, an accrediting agency or an application-processing service, and we do not decide admissions. Apply directly on each university's official website.

How the directory is built

We list an institution only when it holds a current institutional accreditation recorded by the U.S. Department of Education, and a program only after checking on the university's own pages that it is a bachelor's, master's or doctoral degree offered online. Each fact — delivery, campus visits, placements, admissions, tests, deadlines, tuition, accreditation and disclosures — carries the official page it came from and the date we verified it. Details are in our methodology.

Editorial independence

Directory pages are listed alphabetically by default. We do not publish rankings. Universities can buy clearly labelled sponsored placements; payment never changes facts, accreditation information or the order of results.

Coverage

Coverage is partial and growing. We started with a bounded set of institutions researched in depth and add more through the same verification workflow. If an eligible online degree is missing, tell us about it.

Who runs the site
