Before the actual introduction this summer of the online Bachelor of Science in computer science, this new program from Fort Hays State University’s Virtual College has been ranked No. 1 and No. 20 for best program of 2016 by two rating groups.

The computer science program, which is already offered on campus, earned the Students Before Profits Award from NonprofitsCollegesOnline.com, which ranks FHSU No. 1.

Nonprofits Colleges ranks accredited online programs according to their affordability.

The cost difference between FHSU and other colleges on the list are thousands. The difference between FHSU and the No. 2 spot, Western Governors University, is more than $2,000. The difference between FHSU and last ranked spot, DePaul University, is over $10,000.

However, Nonprofits Colleges is not the only publication site to rank FHSU’s computer online science program. ComputerScienceOnline.org ranks FHSU No. 20 for “2016’s Best Colleges for Online Computer Science Degrees.”

The No. 1 ranking is available under “Students Before Profits Rankings” at www.nonprofitscollegesonline.com.
