The website\u2019s data science team then applied a proprietary algorithm to rank all qualifying teaching programs. Primary data points included:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Number of online master\u2019s programs in subject area<\/li>\n<li>Number of online students<\/li>\n<li>Online program tuition and fees<\/li>\n<li>Percentage of students offered institutional aid<\/li>\n<li>Amount of institutional aid awarded per student<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>UND\u2019s recognition comes when enrollment in master\u2019s degree programs is on the rise. In October of 2021, the Council of Graduate Schools (CGS) reported a 7.3 percent increase in first-time graduate student enrollment in Fall 2020. First-time, part-time student enrollment rose by 13.5 percent. The CGS report cites the growth of online and hybrid learning options as a primary driver of these trends.
