FRCC, Aims ranked among top online-learning colleges

Front Range Community College and Aims Community College have made Newsweek’s top 200 list of “America’s Best Online Learning Colleges 2023.”

The new list compiled by Newsweek and database company Statista places FRCC and Aims among the top 30 community colleges from around the country. Only four schools in Colorado made the list. Online-learning offerings have been in place for decades but became far more important when the COVID-19 pandemic shut down or restricted access to most brick-and-mortar institutions.

FRCC, with campuses in Boulder and Larimer counties as well as Westminster, placed 109th on the list. Aims, based in Greeley, placed 145th.

Other schools in Colorado that made the list were Alamosa-based Adams State University at 95th and Lakewood-based Colorado Christian University at 132nd.

Newsweek based its new ranking on its own research about the institutions, as well as an online survey among U.S. residents who have used online learning services to obtain an academic degree or acquire knowledge and skills for their professional or personal development.
