CyberSecurityDegrees.com Unveils 2017 Online Cyber Security Degree Rankings

New Orleans, LA, July 27, 2017 --(PR.com)-- CyberSecurityDegrees.com, a cyber security resource and academic ranking site, has recently released their annual rankings of online cyber security and information assurance-related degree programs. Programs are ranked according to their degree level in rankings specifically for associates in cyber security, bachelors in cyber security, masters in cyber security, or doctoral programs in cyber security.

While undergraduate and graduate programs were ranked according to slightly differing methodologies, all methodologies are crafted with the intent to show three major facets of online cyber security degree programs: academic quality, affordability and return on investment, and student satisfaction.

These metrics have been honed by our team's collective experience of more than a decade of online education coverage experience. Particularly for non-traditional, adult, or students who are working full-time, highlighting of value and support services in a degree are key.

A sample methodology from our ranking of the best online associates in cyber security is as follows:
--Academic Quality (33.33%):
--Is the program an NSA / Department of Homeland Security designated program? (50%)
--The student faculty ratio of the program being surveyed (50%)
--Affordability and Return on Investment (33.33%):
--The in-state tuition rank (weighted for the percentage of the nation in this particular state) (33.33%)
--The out-of-state tuition rank (weighted for the percentage of the nation who aren’t in the state of the school)(33.33%)
--The percentage of students receiving financial aid (33.33%)
--Student Satisfaction (33.33%):
--The percentage of students who graduate within 6 years of matriculation (50%)
