How Minnesota colleges fared in the U.S. News ranking of online programs

This week U.S. News & World Report released its first rankings of online programs -- both at the undergraduate and graduate levels.

The magazine ranked schools overall and in three areas: faculty credentials and training; student engagement and assessment; and student services and technology.

You can read more about the methodology here.

As usual, take it with a grain of salt, and please let me know if I've missed anything.
