Kentucky Wesleyan College recognized by U.S. News & World Report as Best Online Bachelor’s Degree Program for tenth straight year

Online Business Administration Degree Program again earns national recognition

Kentucky Wesleyan College’s online bachelor’s degree program has earned national recognition from U.S. News & World Report for the tenth straight year as a 2025 Best Online Program. Wesleyan’s online business administration degree program also earned recognition as a Best Online Bachelor’s in Business Program in the 2025 rankings.

Current KWC students enrolled in online degree programs are residents of 15 states and several are military personnel stationed in other countries.

“We take pride in helping our online students reach their goals and fulfill their dreams,” said Lindsey (Adcock) Crowe ’02, director of online learning. “They are part of the Wesleyan family and receive the same personal attention and encouragement our on-campus students experience.”

U.S. News assessed schools based on four categories: engagement, services and technology, faculty credentials and training and peer assessment.

According to U.S. News & World Report, “The vast majority of students enrolled in these ranked programs have earned at least some college credit. Rather than first-time college students, they are more likely to be working professionals in their 20s to 40s looking to advance in or change their careers. Some enter with associate degrees while others simply did not complete four-year degrees as traditional students.

“Consequently, the factors U.S. News selected to make comparisons between programs did not include measures only tailored to teenage applicants, such as high school grades and standardized test scores. Instead, U.S. News chose factors that weigh how these programs are being delivered and their effectiveness at awarding affordable degrees in a reasonable amount of time to all types of students.”
