Templeton. \u201cWe are more dedicated than ever to providing students around the world with affordable access to transformative learning experiences online.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In fall 2019, Ecampus served a total of 7,467 students exclusively online. That\u2019s an increase of 902 students \u2013 or 13.7% \u2013 from fall 2018. Among those enrolled in fall 2019 classes, 5,999 students were enrolled in undergraduate degree programs and 1,468 in graduate degree programs.<\/p>\n<p>With OSU students learning online in more than 50 countries, learner engagement is an inherent challenge, Templeton said. \u201cWhat many Ecampus students find \u2013 and what the consistent high rankings for\u00a0top online degree programs signify \u2013 is that meaningful connections are made in OSU\u2019s online classroom.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI engaged with students and my professors through a lot of methods, and it inspired me to keep working,\u201d said Joshua Chan Burgos, an Ecampus anthropology and sustainability double major from Florida who graduated last June. \u201cIf there was a concept I didn\u2019t understand or if we were working on a project, we came up with solutions as a team. That made me feel part of the community, and that was important to me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>U.S. News &amp; World Report evaluated university and college online learning programs based on four criteria: student engagement; student services and technology; faculty credentials and training; and expert opinion. Oregon State\u2019s high ranking largely reflects the expertise of its faculty and Ecampus\u2019 ability to prepare those instructors to teach online.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, OSU received a score of 94 out of 100.<\/p>\n<p>Oregon State features prominently in two more national rankings for\u00a0top online degree programs from U.S. News &amp; World Report:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>OSU is 12th in the category of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usnews.com\/education\/online-education\/engineering\/rankings\">Best Online Graduate Engineering Programs<\/a>.
