BestColleges.com has identified Hope International University as the fifth Best Online Colleges in California among secular schools, private schools and even state universities.

California’s tuition rates have more than doubled since 2005, making college funding complex for students. Fortunately, due to the state’s continuously innovative online education system, students can easily integrate higher education into their existing lives. Those who enroll online can study at their own pace, and many students can work full time jobs as they complete their courses — a pragmatic way to compensate for California’s high tuition rates.

HIU offers a variety of online degrees spanning five academic colleges: arts and sciences, business and management, education, psychology and counseling, and Christian ministry and Biblical studies. Online degrees and courses are available for both undergraduates and graduate students, supported by one of the most comprehensive systems of enrollment and academic advisors among California online colleges. Students can access a live chat option for academic coaching prior to enrollment in an online program. Hope provides online learning programs to students across the U.S. and internationally. HIU maintains campus locations in Anaheim and Fullerton, CA, as well as in Nebraska and Washington state.

The methodology behind this ranking is grounded in statistical data and a few consistently applied guiding principles, including academic quality, affordability, and online competency. BestColleges.com’s 2017 rankings reflect the most recent data available from the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) and College Navigator, both of which are hosted by the National Center for Education Statistics. Their goal is to objectively assess relative quality based on academic outcomes, affordability, and the breadth and depth of online learning opportunities.
