    To be eligible for this ranking, schools were required to meet the following criteria based on government data provided by The Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS).

    • Institutional accreditation from an organization recognized by the U.S. Department of Education.
    • At least one program in the subject area offered partially or fully online.
    1. Assign Weightings

    After creating the list of eligible schools, OnlineColleges.me data scientists assigned weights and ranked schools based on a mix of affordability, support services, and online program availability metrics. Online program availability and overall affordability metrics received the heaviest weightings.

    Online Program Availability

    • Number of online programs in subject area reported by school to the U.S. Department of Education.

In our design, laptop icons = stars.
    • For degree-specific pages, ex: Psychology degrees, we list the current number of online programs available at that school for that degree type, as self-reported by the schools.

    Affordability

    • Cost – Relative cost of attendance compared to peer schools on the list. Based on tuition and fees per academic year.

Ways to Earn Your Degree Online in Kansas

A program may be labeled “online,” but you’ll probably need more information than that. There are completely online programs, hybrid programs, and online courses with in-person practicums. The program may be synchronous or asynchronous. Some programs can only be taken full-time and some can only be taken part-time. Keep reading to learn about the common modes of online learning and why each is important to consider as you explore the best online colleges in Kansas.

Fully Online vs. Hybrid/Blended

A fully online college program in Kansas means all of the coursework, exams, quizzes, discussions, and lectures can be accessed entirely online. A hybrid/blended program means course material and lectures can be partially in-person and partially online. For example, this could mean that you complete some coursework online but attend lectures in person. Or it can mean that you complete all coursework online but that the program has a clinical or practicum requirement that must be completed in person. Due to the nature of some potential careers, certain programs may require students to learn hands-on skills, attend clinicals, complete practicums, or take part in student teaching at a certain location. These skills often need practice and supervision that cannot be completed over a computer screen. It’s important to research the requirements of the program you’re considering so you know exactly what to expect. Here are a couple of examples. 

A.A. Paralegal at Johnson County Community College (Blended/Hybrid)

The paralegal program at Johnson County Community College can be completed in a hybrid format. This program is approved by the American Bar Association, with selective admissions based on testing criteria. The program is designed to mimic real-world experiences and focuses on putting the fundamentals of law into practice. Consisting of 63 credits, the program takes approximately two years to complete. Students must maintain a C grade in all law courses to remain in the program. The online portions of this degree are taken synchronously (in real-time), with lectures and exams in person. The curriculum includes courses in civil litigation, legal research, legal analysis and writing, legal ethics, interviewing and investigation, and advanced legal technology. 

Bachelor of Arts in Political Science from the University of Iowa (Fully-Online)

The BA in political science from the University of Iowa requires students to have some college credit (24+ semester hours) or an associate degree before they can apply to the online program. All courses are taught by the same faculty as the on-campus classes. Students meet with academic advisors and instructors via virtual meetings. Students can complete the degree in four years and pay the same tuition as resident, on-campus students. Graduates of this program possess a basic understanding of American and world politics, can apply a theoretical approach in political science to understand American or world politics, have effective written and oral communication skills, and can conceptualize problems and apply analytical tools to solve them.

Asynchronous vs. Synchronous

Since online classes are typically created for working professionals, you’ll see that most online courses are completed asynchronously, on your own time and at your convenience. However, sometimes you’ll come across a class that has synchronous class times, typically one night a week, where everyone logs on and watches a lecture or participates in a group chat at the same time. Working professionals typically do best with asynchronous courses that allow them to study whenever their schedule permits. Though most online college classes in Kansas are asynchronous, you’ll probably run across a synchronous course now and again, especially for full-time students who take most of their classes on campus and just need to squeeze in one more class online. Below we’ve highlighted a synchronous and asynchronous online college program in Kansas so you can get a better idea of which is right for you.

Bachelor of Science in Psychology at the Central Christian College of Kansas (CCCK) (Asynchronous)

All of CCCK’s online programs, including the BS in psychology, are offered 100% online in an asynchronous format. Students take one six-week course at a time, with several different start dates each year. The psychology program helps students merge the science of the field and the belief in connecting with humanity so they can assess and achieve solutions in psychological care. The degree prepares students for graduate work in the field of psychology, which is typically required if students decide to pursue a licensed position such as a school psychologist or substance abuse counselor. Students pay $450 per credit hour and access their courses through the Canvas online learning system.

Master’s degree in Educational Leadership at Kansas State University (Synchronous)

Students pursuing the educational leadership master’s degree at K-State online will find that it has both synchronous and asynchronous elements, though the program is delivered in an entirely online format. This 36-credit professional degree goes beyond the traditional training of school administrators and helps students meet the Kansas Building Leadership initial license. Admission requires a state-issued teaching license and at least three years of teaching experience. Students study the ethics of educational leadership, school-community relations, education finance, educational law, and administrative leadership in staff development.

Online students at K-State can access the student support and advising office, which helps them in all of their academic endeavors. Students pay about $500 per credit and can rest easy knowing that there’s a 97% job placement rate for students who graduate from K-State’s online programs.

Part-Time vs. Full-Time

It’s pretty standard to pursue an undergraduate degree full-time, while students attending graduate school are more likely to study part-time. This is partly because many graduate students have full-time jobs. Regardless of your student status, if you have significant time restraints then it might be best to find a program that you can take part-time. If you don’t have a full-time job, or you just want to burn the candle at both ends to get things done, studying full-time may be the right course for you. Below are two examples of online college programs in Kansas to help you choose the one that’s right for you.

RN to BSN at the University of Kansas Medical Center (Part-Time)

The RN to BSN program at the KU Medical Center is designed to accommodate working nurses with varying schedules. The program can be completed totally online in as little as one year or can be taken part-time and completed in up to five years. Students enter the program at the start of any semester and will have access to course content online, 24 hours a day. No onsite clinicals or campus meetings are required. 

To enter the program nurses must have a current nursing license and have completed the prerequisite courses. Topics covered include pathophysiology, pharmacology, client assessment, research, technology to enhance client safety, and the macro and micro systems of healthcare. Students complete a senior project as well. Tuition is about $375 per credit hour.

BA in Healthcare Management (nonclinical) at Ottawa University (Full-Time)

The accelerated bachelor’s degree in healthcare management from Ottawa University is available completely online and allows students to choose from five concentrations (which require four extra courses). The concentrations include economics, finance, human resources, leadership and management, and marketing. The healthcare management nonclinical track is specifically for business professionals looking to understand health management systems and gain the organization-wide insight and managerial ability to become leaders or managers of healthcare organizations. Students analyze the perspectives, methods, and values associated with the delivery and financing of health services. They learn to evaluate client needs, fiscal constraints, management practices, ethical principles, public policies, and promotional strategies of healthcare institutions.

Accreditation for Online Colleges in Kansas

It’s important to attend an accredited online college in Kansas, which means the school has been recognized as having a quality curriculum that meets a certain regional or national standard. Why? Because many things depend on you attending an accredited online college, including financial aid eligibility and certification/licensing requirements. It’s also easier to transfer college credits from one institution to another if you completed them at an accredited online college in Kansas or elsewhere in the country.

Colleges and universities in Kansas should be accredited by the Higher Learning Commission. But that’s only on an institutional level. Degrees such as nursing, engineering, or business have their own individual accrediting bodies that you should look for. For more information, please check out our accreditation guide.

The Cost of Online College in Kansas

On paper, college seems pretty straightforward, but the cost can be a big stumbling block for potential students. The Kansas Board of Regents reports that resident undergraduate students pay anywhere from $2,722 to $5,584 per semester at the six state universities. Though attending a local community college would be half that cost, it’s still a daunting price tag for many students to face. 

Luckily, online programs often charge students the resident tuition rate, no matter where they live, which can be beneficial for students outside of the state. Even if you live in Kansas, taking online courses helps you cut costs by allowing you to study from home. This way, you won’t have to pay for transportation, on-campus housing, on-campus food, and even some of your course materials that could be available online. Below we’ve researched several online colleges in Kansas to show you the difference in tuition should you choose to attend online rather than on campus.

Financial Aid for Attending College Online in Kansas

Paying for college can be one of the biggest challenges for students. Every Kansas university and college has different tuition rates, fees, and housing costs. Fortunately, there are a lot of financial aid opportunities on the local, school, state, and federal levels. 

Local communities offer scholarships that typically you apply for online by submitting an essay. Check out the Kansas Board of Regents website for state-wide scholarships and information about the Kansas Learning Quest Savings program. On the university level, many schools offer scholarships based on GPA and various talents such as sports or music. There are grants and work-study programs at the state and federal levels if you’re looking into graduate school.

On the federal level, completing the FAFSA gives you access to the most common grant programs for university students, so students of every background should apply for it. While student loans are available, especially if you don’t qualify for a grant through FAFSA, look at those only as a last resort. Student loans have to be repaid and can have high interest rates. Many students find themselves still paying off their student loans decades after graduation. Find more information in our financial aid guide
