This year, TheBestSchools.org reviewed all accredited online Master's in Graphic Design degree programs in the U.S. to select the Top 11 programs in the nation. Rankings for online schools were formulated based on the following six informational categories: academic excellence based on a school's general curriculum or curriculum within the selected discipline, strength of faculty scholarship, reputation, financial aid, range of degree programs and strength of online methodology.

Ranked 11th, KU is the only Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education school on the list. KU offers the first and only MFA in Communication Design within the State System.

TheBestSchools.org is an independent organization comprised of educators, editors, authors and web professionals who believe learning transforms lives for the better and should remain a lifelong pursuit.
