UNE receives Students Before Profits Award for online degree programs

The University of New England was one of 50 colleges and universities to receive the Students Before Profits Award for its online Master of Science in Education degree programs. The award was created by Nonprofit Colleges Online, a promotional publication for online degree programs, as a way to recognize higher education institutions that consistently value the interests of students more than a bottom line. 

The award ranks the top 50 nonprofit colleges and universities with online graduate programs offered to students at a reasonable price. It aims to illuminate not-for-proft institutions that work to benefit students, while counteracting the negative attention earned by several for-profit organizations earlier this year.
