Oregon State University is ranked #3 in the nation for online education for military students.

The rankings identify nearly 100 programs that provide veterans with high-quality, flexible online bachelor's programs. Oregon State now delivers nearly 40 such programs via the university’s online education division, OSU Ecampus.

To qualify for the veterans rankings, an institution must be certified for the GI Bill, and the online programs must belong to schools participating in the Yellow Ribbon Program or to public institutions that charge in-state tuition for all out-of-state veterans. OSU meets these criteria.

The methodology also states that a program must have enrolled a critical mass of students with military backgrounds.

Oregon State ranks No. 4 on the overall 2021 Best Online Bachelor's Programs list.
