A March 1, 2021 the Education Advisory Board (EAB) identified the top five online graduate programs with the highest demand, but the lowest availability. Two of the top five degrees are offered online by the East Tennessee State University College of Public Health.
First, EAB identified 19 programs with the highest increases in student demand between the 2016-2017 and 2018-2019 academic years based on the number of reported distance delivery completions. From there, they assessed the competitive landscape for each of these 19 programs. They identified 5 programs as meeting the “high demand” and “low availability” criteria:
- Health Care Administration and Management
- Public Administration
- Educational/Instructional Technology
- Human Resources Management/Personnel Administration;
- Public Health
