Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize
Penn State World Campus on being ranked number one in the Nation for
the best online bachelor's programs in the country.

The recognition was given by the U.S. News & World Report's 2015 Best
Online Programs and marks the highest ever ranking for the university;
further, Penn State ranks in the top 10 for the best online graduate
programs in business, engineering, education, and computer information
technology.

The assessment criteria included student engagement, faculty
credentials and training, peer reputation, student services, and
technology.

Penn State World Campus, which provides high-quality online education
to meet the needs of busy adults who want to advance their careers,
currently has 10,805 students enrolled in 119 degree and certificate
programs.

The third year that U.S. News & World Report has ranked online degree
programs, almost 300 institutions that offer online bachelor degrees
are included in the rankings.

Mr. Speaker, I commend my alma mater for this esteemed recognition,
including the talented staff and the innovative educators at Penn State
University.
