Peru, Nebraska- CollegeChoice.net named Peru State College the fifth most affordable online college
in the nation for 2016. Using a different methodology, GreatValueColleges.net also
named Peru State the fifth “best affordable” online college in 2015.
Both lists had different results outside of Peru State College’s shared ranking. CollegeChoice.net
cited the top 50 most affordable colleges and GreatValueColleges.net cited only 15
across the nation.
Dr. Dan Hanson, president of Peru State College, said, “Peru State continues to receive
attention for our online programs. Both academic quality and the cost of education
are important decision factors.”
“Providing the best education for the money is a key part of making Peru State a college
of choice.”
GreatValueColleges.net writes, “Peru doesn’t offer a wide variety of programs, however
the school is starting small, with a focus on developing quality programs.”
GreatValueColleges.net adds, “There are three things these best accredited online
colleges have in common: incredibly low tuition, offering online programs, and regional
accreditation.”
CollegeChoice.net addresses the concerns that students may have about online colleges
including academic quality, degree options, teaching and technical support, flexibility
and total cost. The site provides insight on teacher quality and hidden fees alike.
