Southeast Missouri State Universitys online undergraduate and graduate programs have been recognized among the nations best value online degrees by SR Education Group.

Southeast Online and the University faculty are committed to providing high quality courses and programs that are affordable to students throughout our region and beyond, said Chelsea Caile, director of Southeast Online Programs.

SR Education Group developed the rankings based on value. SR Education Group analyzed accredited online schools across the nation, taking into consideration academic strength factors along with annual tuition rates in order to provide a list of colleges offering the best value to students. Inclusion on these lists shows high academic standards and a commitment to affordability, two key factors important to prospective students.

To be nationally recognized is a testament to our groundbreaking services and curriculum, and to our commitment to success for all students, Caile said.

A driving force behind the programs successes are their affordability and flexibility for working professionals and part-time students. Students pay one tuition rate, regardless of in-state or out-of-state status, can receive course credit or competency credit for previous education and professional experiences, and earn a degree on their own schedule, added Caile.
