At both the undergraduate and graduate levels, U.S. News calculates rankings based on a variety of factors, which hold different weights depending on the ranking category. A program\u2019s score for each factor, or ranking indicator, is calculated using data that online programs report to U.S. News in an annual survey. The rankings methodologies for online programs are separate from those for U.S. News\u2019 Best Colleges and Best Graduate Schools rankings. Ranking methodologies are typically updated on an annual basis.<\/p><p>Additional details are available <a style=\"text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/usnews.com\/education\/online-education\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p><p>: :<\/p><p>The University of St. Francis, in Joliet, Ill., serves close to 4,000 students nationwide and offers undergraduate, graduate, doctoral and certificate programs in the arts and sciences, business, education, nursing and social work.
