BEMIDJI-BSU's online programs have been named third-best in the state of Minnesota, based on factors including availability, degrees offered, cost and passing rate, by Affordable Colleges Online, the university said in a release.
The site's "Best Online Colleges In Minnesota For 2016-2017" used data gathered on Minnesota's higher education institutions meant to assess quality, services, a range of subjects and resources.
BSU offers seven majors and seven minors completely online, including online degree-completion programs designed for students who already have the equivalent of their first two years of college completed or transferring at least 24 college credits. BSU uses D2L Brightspace as an interactive software program that allows the use of a personal computer to receive and submit assignments, work in groups, explore advanced learning options and interact with instructors and other distance learners, officials said in the release.
