Nova Southeastern University recently announced it has been recognized as one of the 2019 Best Online Bachelor’s in Health Science programs in the nation by BestColleges, a leading provider of independent college rankings, college planning resources, and higher education research. The annual ranking highlights accredited, not-for-profit institutions who have developed quality online undergraduate-level health science programs that focus on student outcomes.

The BestColleges ranking methodology focuses on academics and learner support, affordability, and online programming with schools evaluated on several noteworthy data points aggregated from the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) and College Navigator, both of which are hosted by the National Center for Education Statistics. Additionally, BestColleges compiled institutional and program-level question responses from a proprietary survey circulated to schools offering online bachelor’s programs. From these responses, six additional ranking factors were incorporated into this year’s ranking methodology. These updated ranking factors are meant to further emphasize schools who strongly support their students while also offering a strong return on investment.

“After researching hundreds of health science programs, BestColleges identified 25 schools who rank among the Best Online Bachelor’s in Health Science programs in the nation. These programs reflect the best academic opportunities for students wishing to further their career goals,” says Stephanie Snider, Director of BestColleges. “We’re thrilled to have Nova Southeastern University be a part of this list, and we commend them for establishing this exceptional online program that focuses on academic success while remaining affordable and flexible.”
