June 9, 2020

 

Ashland Community and Technical College was recently ranked No. 3 in a list of 2020’s Best Online Community Colleges in Kentucky.

The list, by Guide to Online Schools, ranked community colleges on a number of factors, including retention rate, graduation rate, percentage of online enrollment data and the number of online associate degrees offered.

“ACTC is honored by this recognition,” said Dr. Larry Ferguson, ACTC president and CEO. “It is a testament to our outstanding, world-class faculty and our staff. In my opinion, if online learning best fits your life needs, you could not find a better college to attend.”

Additionally, the rankings weigh the percentage of students enrolled in online degrees specifically, as an indicator of the success of the college’s distance education program. These data points were all collected by the National Center of Education Statistics.
