Campbell University recently announced that the institution moved up 50 places  in the U.S. News & World Report annual ranking of online programs. 

U.S. News & World Report considers colleges across the nation for its list. This year, 361 schools were considered eligible for the list, and Campbell moved up to the 87th spot. 

Out of the schools on the list, Campbell University’s Adult & Online Education program  makes the institution the highest ranking North Carolina private school on the list, and the fourth highest on the list out of all of the North Carolina universities and colleges considered. Campbell also ranked 51st in the country for online programs for veterans and 98th for online programs for business students, the college reported. 

 “Still the highest ranked private university in the state of North Carolina, we have moved up over several large state-funded schools by dint of our outstanding personal support for our students, our excellent faculty and our innovative programs,” said Dr. Beth Rubin, dean of the Adult & Online Education program.
