Reviews will be incorporated into upcoming program rankings. METHODOLOGY Here's how we crunched the numbers: Graduateprograms.com reaches current and recent graduate students through scholarship entries as well as social media platforms. All rankings for top online graduate programs cover a period from Sept. 1, 2012 and March 31, 2015. The rankings encompass reviews posted by more than 70,000 students participating in over 1,600 graduate programs. Ratings are based on a 10 star system (with 1 being the worst and 10 being the best), as well as verbatim answers submitted by students. Graduateprograms.com assigns 15 ranking categories to each graduate program at each graduate school. Rankings cover a variety of student topics, such as academic competitiveness, career support, financial aid, and quality of network. For a given graduate program, rankings are determined by calculating the average score for each program based on the 15 ranking categories. These scores are then compared across all ranked schools for that program and are translated into a final ranking for that graduate program, i.e., business and management. A given graduate program is not ranked until a minimum threshold of graduate student surveys is completed for that graduate program. Logo - http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20150426/211614LOGO
